rather reminds of sake... not mine. Backhouse unpleasantly alcoholic and sour like cheap rice wine ...
Blind wäre ich wahrscheinlich irgendwo bei Clairin gelandet, da ich mich da schon des Öfteren im Olivenwasser hab schwimmen sehen, wobei es hier schon eher die pure Olive im Glas ist. Besonders im Abgang kommt eine gut dazu passende Käsenote dazu. An Frucht vor allem im Mund etwas Litchi. Besonders gefällt die ölige Konsistenz auf der Zunge. Alkohol, bei den ABV zu erwarten, merkt man nicht. Zugegeben, sehr speziell, aber ganz objektiv ein qualitativ sehr guter Rum und über Geschmack lässt sich ja bekanntlich streiten.
Even on a blind tasting, we're looking at an acqueous floral saké profile.
