Trockener Enmore. Aber noch nicht überlagert. Schöner Rum. Tolle Schokonoten und viel dunkles Holz. Passt hervorragend in die Vorweihnachtszeit.
Auf diesen Guyana war ich echt gespannt… und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Die Nase ist anfangs schon sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ich nehme eine Aroma von Maggi/vergorenen Früchten und leicht sauerer Artischocke wahr… Am Gaumen verteilt er sich wunderbar cremig mit einer anfänglichen Süße, die sehr schnell den würzig/holzigen/Espressonoten weichen muss. Dunkle Schokolade gesellt sich hinzu. Der Alkohol ist top eingebunden. Eine Bitternote ist ebenfalls dethent vorhanden. Der Abgang setzt sich in gleicher Weise fort! Top-Rum
Ein seht gut gelagerter und leckerer Versailles mit den entsprechenden Markern. Das Holz bzw. Die Bitterkeit sind weit weniger, als man denken würde. Braucht eine Weile im Glas aber dann wird er ruchtig toll.
