    12.05.2012 Celebrating my friends 50th birthday and I brought a few rums to try. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, vanilla, sweet, floral, vegetal, pineapple. Palate Light, wood, sweet, vanilla, floral, tannins, tannins, pineapple. Finish Short to medium, wood, clove, fruits, grass, spice.

    Superbe dégustation d’un autre temps, un côté mielleux, réglisse, puis un nez qui évolue beaucoup sur des notes plus fumées, un côté assez estérisé, et en même temps une rondeur un peu sucrée, avec pas mal de fruits noirs. Bouche plus métallique, des notes légèrement brûlées, et ces fruits noirs. Un très beau moment de rhum!

    Muss 30 min im Glas atmen. Dann geht es los. Rauch, Honig, Frische, etwas Minze. Einfach Top. Die 46% geben dem Rum eine schöne Leichtigkeit. Schön Trocken und lange im Mund. Nach mehreren Runden von über 60%igen Rums probiert und es stört nicht. Einfach lecker. Legend.

    Sehr schöne Rockley-Nase mit getrockneten Kräutern, ätherischem Öl und Bienenwabe. Am Gaumen Harz, Honig, würzig-pfeffrig. Altes Fass im Abgang Der niedrige ABV isr hier gar nicht störend. Besten Dank an Josip für das Sample!
