    How does this rum taste?

    The Gold 151 Proof made at Jamaica's renowned Appleton Estate distillery is a potent rum with a 75.5% ABV, distilled from molasses. It leads with a strong alcoholic aroma complemented by underlying notes of caramel, fruit, and spice. On the palate, the rum is dominated by alcohol with hints of tropical fruit, ester, caramel, and milk chocolate. While many consider it a versatile mixer ideal for cocktails due to its strength, others note it lacks complex aromatic depth and barrel influence. Notably pungent, it embodies the robust Jamaican rum style, yet is best appreciated in mixed drinks rather than sipped neat.

    Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No.8 Puhh das ist wieder ne brutale Alkoholkeule ... Nase sehr sehr stechend und scharf. Etwas Honigsüße und Blumige Noten . Kandis und leichte Pfirsichnoten . Am Gaumen wieder sehr stechend Alkoholisch und scharfkantig . Etwas Fruchtigkeit und sogar leichte Ester sind zu schmecken. Lege mich auch hier fest das das eher ein Mixer ist ...

    Johannes Blindtasting Set Nr.8: Die Nase ist recht verhalten, ganz dünn nehme ich etwas Papaya, Ester und dunkles Karamell wahr. Am Gaumen anfangs recht viel Süße, dann scharfe Würze und etwas Kräuter, den Alkohol empfinde ich als nicht allzu gut eingebunden und sehr stark. Der Abgang ist mehr auf der kräuterigen Seite

    A good rum to mix with power!

    Trotz des hohen Alkohols gut trinkbar. Kaum bis gar kein Fasseinfluss zu schmecken. Deutlich als Jamaikaner zu erkennen. Denke eher als Overproof Mixer gedacht als zum pur trinken.
