How does this rum taste?

An intriguing, complex rum with a bouquet of sour redcurrants, dried fruits, and distinct physalis. On the palate, it's lighter with notes of espresso, transitioning to a medium-long finish of menthol smoke. Some found it too thin or sharp, yet delightfully woody and fruity.

“Aus Guadeloupe kommen immer wieder großartige Abfüllungen. DT hat immer gute Fässer und 18 yo mit Fasstärke klingt super. Nase: schön würzig-holzig-fruchtig. Zu Beginn leicht pfeffrig mit Muskat und leichten Anteilen von Maggi. Hinzu kommt noch etwas spitzes, vielleicht Ingwer und ein Hauch Minze. Duftendes Zedernholz und eine leichte Röst-Rauch-Note übernehmen, dicht gefolgt von einer sahnigen Toffee-Süße mit Kirsche, Brombeere und dezent Zitronenschale. Sehr angenehm. 88 Gaumen: würzig-holzig auch hier. Eine leckere Mischung aus Umami, Lakritz, süßlichem Kümmel und leicht salzig-pfeffrig. Hat aber sich etwas frisches, kräuteriges mit Safran und Kamille unterstrichen von Sauerkirsche und Traube. Hinten kommen dann grasiges Zuckerrohr und Lakritze durch. Gefällt mir auch echt gut. 86”

“Eine richtig gute Abfüllung! Ein runder, aber doch komplexer Rum mit einer schönen Kombination aus dunklen Früchten, Holz, Schokolade und Etwas Tabak.”
