Silver Seal Barbados BRS 1986

This is an absolut board! One of the best rums I‘ve tried so far! The alcohol and barrel are integrated so well😵

Part 6/8 of our 1986 Rockley tasting: Silver seal, awesome! Lime/peach-passion fruit/mint/black tea in liquid, plus some medicinal, dirty notes and incredibly intense and balanced! mega awesome number and one of the best rums I've ever had and will probably have!🤤❤️🇧🇧🍯🥭🍑 for me on a par with the RA but much more fruity and velvety. absolute grenade! Update: blindly I almost typed it as st. Lucia Vendome, due to the sau cool honeycomb, wax note and the rather dirty intense profile. Incredibly cool stuff!!!🙌🏼

Woooow! Intense without end - in the nose and on the palate! Unique and has simply nothing in common with today's rum from Barbados. Compared to the RA and DT, it comes with more edges and corners, whereas the other two are much rounder.

Amazing rockley so intense and full of This lovely honey crunch that this amazing distill Is known from. Absolutely in my favorite 🤩

Compared to the RA, Plantation and Nobilis, the SS is for me in 3rd place.The Silver Seal needs a lot of time in the glass to develop. Alcohol is perhaps not absolutely top integrated, but it comes thereby very powerful. An excellent representative of the 86 vintage!

After opening, something lazy and fruity, after 30 minutes in the glass no trace of it. Smoky, fruity, honey, slightly sweet, raisin? every nose gives you a new facet. I can't get enough of the smell. Intense in the mouth, first smoke, then a full broadside of black tea and endless wood, beautifully complex and super-integrated alcohol. Long, dry finish with wood and a slightly herbal/herbal aftertaste. Mega rum, meets my taste!

One of my favourite bottles on my shelf. Though expensive it's well worth the money and I can only recommend one. The nose is there from opening the bottle and once rested it just keeps on giving. Fruits and spice with an earthy tone and some rubber. Add some smoked oak and you have a monster. The palate is intense and complex with an oily texture. Again there is fruit and spice with tea, leather and rubber in the back. Again nice and smoky oak in there. The finish is very, very long with oak and peaches in the front and tannins and licorice in the back.

Rockley Tasting 1986/87/2000 Wahnsinn aber eine Nasenspitze hinter dem RA Rockley für mich.

Absolute royalty from Barbados - the "Rockley" style reaches its highest form of art here. Smoke, honey, fresh fruit, plus green notes - all this with perfectly integrated alcohol and without ever developing any form of heaviness. In one form: Formidable.

Exceptionally good!

Nuri oil sardines with honey. A unique flavor profile.Extremely complex, extremely interesting. In the mouth, madness. There is no rum that tastes similar.

In the direct Rockley 86 match against the Rendsburger. Honey, smoke, fruit, rubber ... everything is a little quicker on the nose here and also a little less incisive. On the other hand, the Rendsburger has a fine sour fruit note of raspberry and lime. Similarly on the palate ... the Rendsburger brings fresher fruity notes of raspberry and lime into play. Both good and ultimately a matter of taste. I prefer the Silver Seal. It brings out honey, smoke and dirt more beautifully and roundly.

RumX Adventskalender 2024: Nr. 24 Was für ein beeindruckender Rum aus Barbados. Hätte auch ein Rum für den Heilig Abend sein können. Ausgezeichnete Qualität und Profil was ich noch bei keinem anderen Barbados Rum empfunden habe. Danke für die tolle Möglichkeit.

Tag 22 des RumX-Adventskalenders: Braucht längeren Luftkontakt, um sich vollends zu öffnen, entwickelt dadurch aber ein ungemein spannendes Profil und eine ausgesprochen beeindruckende Komplexität. Nur wenige, helle Fruchtaromen in Richtung Banane und Mango sind am Start, aber diese Mischung aus von Honig tropfenden Bienenwaben und sanftem Rauch, welcher keinerlei torfige Tendenzen aufweist, sondern eher was von Weihrauch hat, begeistern mich. Kräuter, Anis und Lakritze sowie eine leicht dreckige Gumminote steigern die Vielschichtigkeit, welche in einem sehr langen und sehr feinen Abgang mündet. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich diesen Rum einmal ins Glas bekomme. Großartig!

In der Nase fruchtig mit Anklängen von schwarzem Tee, Gewürzen und Bohnerwachs. Gaumen: Wow, was ist das denn? Süß im Antritt mit leicht Veilchen, dann Gewürze wie Kardamom, dazu schwarzer Tee, etwas Bohnerwachs, leicht Banane und edles Holz. Alkohol fantastisch eingebunden. Sehr komplex und vielschichtig. Im Abgang bleibt das edle Holz und es kommen Dörrfrüchte und eine leichte Bitterkeit dazu. Erinnert mich leicht an einen Port Mourant, aber das trifft es nicht genau. Vielleicht ein Blend? Auf jeden Fall für mich ein fantastischer Rum!
