How does this rum taste?
Dry, woody Guyana with Marsala twist
If you enjoy drier, woody Demeraras at full proof, this is a nice side-step with a Marsala edge—characterful and warm, but less about lush sweetness than about dry structure.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers seeking soft, sweet, dessert-like Guyana rums.

Just finished a nice evening going through some of the samples we got from 1423.
Eiche, Anis, Kräuter, prägnante Vanille Aromen und eine dezente Süße sind in der Nase wahrnehmbar. Die Süße und die ausgeprägte Vanille erinnern mich eher an einen Column Guyaner als an einen Versailles Rum. Somit eine nicht ganz typische Versailles Nase, wie ich sie kenne. Am Gaumen fällt direkt eine Bitterkeit auf, die sich zunehmend in eine Süße wandelt, gepaart mit Eiche, Zimt und Kräutern. Der Alkohol ist mit seinen 62,8% gut eingebunden, der Rum wirkt sogar mild, kommt allerdings nicht gegen ältere Vergleichskandidaten aus 1990 an. Im Abgang blitzen noch kurz süße Orangen Aromen auf, verschwinden aber sehr schnell wieder. Alles in allem ein guter Rum. 83 Punkte
To me, the alcohol seems only suboptimally integrated. Update 24.06.2022:Today, the rum still seems to me a bit too brute on the palate, but for that I taste no annoying finish, certainly not sweet wine, but just, as it should be, graphite (pencil shavings).A rum with dry charm and character.Because I tasted the RX1378 in parallel, I held that on the palate stubbornly for this SBS (keyword "heavy sweetness") . 🥴🙈 One may convict me of the grandiose error! 🙏😉
