A rum with a lot of wood, followed by caramel, spices and toasty nut chocolate. Fruit (red fruit) also, but went with me compared to the other notes rather under or rather remains in the background. In the mouth then sharp with spices and wood. Now clearer fruit, caramel and nut chocolate are also found. Very round thing!

Interesting wood finish. I get a lot of cherries/sour cherries (maybe some Haribo Cherries too). The fruits and the wood is battling but keep each other in check. Some spices come through. A menthol freshness. Interesting and well made. Tasted it again on Christmas 2022. New packaging, which looks more retro than the old one. Still impressed. Lots of oak. Cognac. Good

Sehr interessanter Rum durch das exotische Holz-Finish. Ziemlich konzentriert und nichts „für jeden Abend“.

Intensiv lieblich-fruchtig aber auch würzig in der Nase. Fast schon blumig. Tropische Früchte wie Papaya, zusammen mit Kirsche und Johannisbeere. Die Süße von hellem Ahornsirup und karamellisiertem Zucker. Dahinter leicht holzig und Vanille, Vorbericht sich etwas Zimt. Auch am Gaumen würzig-fruchtig. Wieder mit Kirsche, tropischen Früchten, etwas mehr Richtung Orange und am Ende Trauben. Auch hier leicht blumig. Duft-holz, etwas Vanille, leicht karamellig-nussig. Aromatisch, lecker, gut. 47% gehen ok, mehr wäre auch gut. Gefällt!

Nicht mein Geschmack, aber spannend. Das besondere (Akazien-)Holz des Double Casks macht sich eindeutig bemerkbar und hinterlässt einen sehr holzigen, bitteren Geschmack. Ansonsten ein durchaus komplexer und guter Rum, der abseits des Holzes durchaus zu Mauritius passt. Spannend wäre zu wissen, ob es ein Virgin Cask war und wie sich der Geschmack bei sonst fast üblicher Bourbon-Vorbelegung entwickelt hätte.

Farbe: Leuchtendes Mahagoni Geruch: Riecht süß nach Tropenhölzern, Schokolade, Waldhonig und Rosinen. Etwas kräuterig und floral. Geschmack: Süß im Mund, dann fruchtig. Beim Sclucken zunächst vor allem Toffee und Karamell, dabei würzig. Zudem Aromen von Maronen und Kardamom, Schokolade, Harz und Waldhonig. Abgang: Mittellang. Würzig mit Toffee, harzig, kräuterig und leicht bitter. 86 Punkte

Heel apart en bijzonder door de finish op acaciahout, moeilijk te plaatsen. Kijk er naar uit om het nog eens gedetailleerder te degusteren
