“Sample vom 12. GRF, Berlin. Und dieser Jahrgang ist ein ganz besonderer für mich 😉. Einer der alten, ehrwürdigen Demeraras… Nase: intensives und schön dickes Aroma, geprägt von röstig-holzigen und würzig-fruchtigen Noten. Hervorstechend für mich ist zunächst angenehmer aber alter Tabak. Daneben stehen Melasse, mehr karamellig als lakritzig, getrocknete Orangenschale und Kumquat. Eine schwere Süße von reifer Brombeere und sehr dunkler Süßkirsche. Untypisch, aber eine ganz leichte Kokos-Note ist zu vernehmen. Insgesamt wirkt er auch schokoladig. Gefällt mir sehr gut. 9,1 Gaumen: kräftig und eindeutig dunkel-röstig-holzig, ohne aber unangenehm bitter zu sein. Holzsäure und altes Holz sind schon zu schmecken, aber auch hier deckt Melasse schön ab. Etwas salzig und viel dunkle Schokolade sowie Mokka, hinten heraus Muskat und alter Tabak. Bleibt etwas hinter der schönen Nase. 8,9 Es ist schon etwas Besonderes, diese alten Rums probieren zu können. Mir gefällt deren Profil außerordentlich, daher auch sehr gute 9,0 Punkte.”

“Verkostet auf dem 1. deutschen Armagnc Festival in Stuttgart am Catawicki Stand. Probiert auf Empfehlung … aber mir war es an dem Tag glaube ich einfach zu warm für diese Art Rum 😂 evtl. Würde er an einem anderen Tag (und Wetter) besser abschneiden. Sehr guter, dunkler Demerara mit viel Malz, Kaffee, Holz und Zitrusschalen. Er war aber nicht sumpfig sondern elegant. Bei dem Wetter waren es für mich aber nur 86 Punkte”
