Sample from the 12th GRF, Berlin. And this vintage is a very special one for me 😉. One of the old, venerable Demeraras... Nose: intense and beautifully thick aroma, characterized by toasty-woody and spicy-fruity notes. The first thing that stands out for me is pleasant but old tobacco. Next to it is molasses, more caramel than liquorice, dried orange peel and kumquat. A heavy sweetness of ripe blackberry and very dark sweet cherry. Atypical, but a very light coconut note can be detected. Overall, it also has a chocolaty effect. I like it very much. 9.1 Palate: powerful and clearly dark-roasted and woody, but without being unpleasantly bitter. Wood acidity and old wood can already be tasted, but molasses covers up nicely here too. Somewhat salty and lots of dark chocolate and mocha, with nutmeg and old tobacco at the back. Lags a little behind the beautiful nose. 8.9 It's really something special to be able to taste these old rums. I really like their profile, hence the very good 9.0 points.

Fair evaluation Needs a lot of time
Tasted at the 1st German Armagnc Festival in Stuttgart at the Catawicki stand. Tasted on recommendation ... but I think it was just too warm for this type of rum that day 😂 Perhaps it would perform better on a different day (and weather). Very good, dark Demerara with lots of malt, coffee, wood and citrus peel. It was not boggy but elegant. Given the weather, however, it was only 86 points for me
