    How does this rum taste?

    The S.B.S Guyana 17-Year-Old Rum, distilled by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits, showcases a vibrant herbal and spicy profile.

Bottled at 59.7% ABV, it delivers a strong and full-bodied experience, with a warm, lingering finish. Some reviewers found its astringency and bitter undertones challenging, while others appreciated its rich, herbal complexity.

    Farbe: Stroh Geruch: Süß und fruchtig nach dunklen Beeren Geschmack: Mild und cremig im Mund. Im Geschmack vollmundig und komplex nach Karamell, Gewürzen und Eiche. Abgang: Mittellang Würzig und holzig nach Kümmel und Anis mit Lakritze. 86 Punkte

    for me more like Versailles but probably PM. A bit harsh/austere for the age, still very good.

    Kräuterbonbon ist das Thema. Gelungen arrangiert und sehr angenehm zu trinken.

    Alles da, lecker und eher trocken mit Kräutern, Tee und Anis. Aber nicht herausragend. Für mich sehr angenehm und unkompliziert zu trinken.
