Not bad at all either. The nose is very refreshing, with herbs such as basil. Sugar cane is also recognizable. The palate is also very fresh, with herbs and sugar cane here too. Very herbal rum.
A rum infused with basil during distillation, this little juice from Thailand has its own distinctive character. The nose is particularly marked by basil, the freshness of aromatic herbs and citrus fruits, lychee, sugar cane and spices (chili pepper, paprika). A surprising profile, a little zany but very pleasant. The attack on the palate is well rounded. Although only 40%, the flavors assert themselves with basil and herbaceous notes, exotic fruits, lime and sugar cane, as well as spices (anise, chili pepper) and an umami taste that adds relief on the palate. Very drinkable and smooth. The finish is quite long, maintaining the same framework of vegetal, fruity and slightly spicy notes. Even if it's not a great rum, it's still a pleasant surprise that drinks (too) well and at an attractive price.
Tastes strongly of aniseed. Pastis sends its regards. Not my taste
Spannend. Nase direkt Basilikum, dahinter Anis und Lakritz, bissel agricole. Zunge erstmal fremd, mehr Anis als Basilikum, leicht scharf, komische Zusammenstellung von Aromen, passt für mich nicht
