RX3497 Very good Pot Still Rum 250€+
“Complex smoky honey rum with evolving flavors.”

Cadenhead's "Green Label" rum, distilled in 1986 at Barbados' Rockley distillery, reflects masterful craftsmanship from master distillers. Aged for 18 years, this pot still rum at 46% ABV unfolds dynamic aromas of smoky, honeycomb, and sandalwood. The palate reveals a harmonious blend of smoky, herbal, and subtle vanilla notes, with a gentle yet pronounced spicy undertone. Appreciated for its old-school character, it evolves in the glass, delighting with its complex profile and robustness, even at lower cask strength. While some note its unique tannic presence and short finish, the rum is celebrated for its aromatic depth and smooth texture, offering an exceptional tasting experience that appeals to seasoned enthusiasts. Enjoy this distinctive rum as an exploration of generations of tradition and technique.

“Teil 4/8 unseres 1986er Rockley Tastings: wow! unglaublich intensiv sowohl an der Nase als auch im Geschmack! richtig schön dick, cremig und ölig. Papaya trifft Minze, trifft Piment trifft Banane und zum Schluss kumquatmarmelade mit frischem Vanillemark. geile Nummer! unglaublich smooth und dennoch komplex genug und nicht so schnell weg wie sonst oft bei Trinkstärke. in kurz: die beste Rockley 86 Trinkstärke!🤤🇧🇧”

“Ich bin ja nicht so der große Barbados-Rumfan, aber dieser Rockley holt mich mal wieder ab. Diese rauchig harzige Honignote mit einem Duft von Akazienholz ist schon sehr besonders und einzigartig. Der geringe ABV fällt hier kaum auf. Hervorragend, wenn nicht der Abgang relativ kurz wäre. Dieses kostet ihm leider ein paar Punkte”
