How does this rum taste?

The Secret Treasures Old Barbados offers citrus and nutty notes with a hint of honey and smoke. It's light and mild, but criticized for a watered-down profile and lack of complexity due to its 40% ABV.

“RumX-Adventskalender 14.12.2023 Nee, Rockley war und ist einfach nicht mein Fall. Trinkbar, aber wahrlich kein Burner. Dünn und nichtssagend.”

“14.01.2006 My first visit to Hong Kong and this was a very nice hotel, which also had a great Restaurant. Notes. Light in colour and profile. Woody with dried fruit and light coconut. Light/thin palate with a smoky touch. Short finish with vanilla and caramel.”

“Nose is not bad with honey, vanilla and sweetness alongside some fruits. It is not overwhelmingly intense but the expected notes are noticeable if a bit subdue overall. On the palate and particularly the finish, the reduction is more noticeable and very adverse to the experience unfortunately. Dispute some Rockley notes showing up, the bottling feels to thin with a very short and unpleasant finish.”

“Irgendwie einfach nicht gut. Verwässert. Zitrusfrucht. Dahinter eher auf der grünen Seite. An der Nase eher medizinisch. Denke das Kalender sample war hier völlig ausreichend ;)”

“Wenig prickelnd weil insgesamt einfach zu dünn. Wirkt extrem verwässert, vom Profil ist nicht mehr viel da. Wirkt wie der Caroni vom selben Abfüller. Nichts schlecht aber im Endeffekt relativ nichtssagend.”

“RumX Adventskalender Tag 14 Leider im Nachhinein erst verkostet. Da im Komischen Kalender Tag 14 der "Konkurrent" aus der Vergangenheit drin war, habe ich beide gegeneinander antreten lassen. Viel waren sie nicht auseinander, aber als Fazit haben sie mich beide nicht überzeugt.”

“die typische Rockley DNA von Honig und Rauch kann ich hier nur schwer erkennen, es geht eher Richtung medizinische Noten. Am Gaumen kommt dann noch die starke Verdünnung, die alle Geschmacksnoten wegspült. Naja, einen Versuch war es wert…”

“Goûté à l'aveugle et je n'ai pas été capable ne serait que de situer ce rhum. Une liqueur d'amandes pour moi. Très léger. Très facile à boire. Très surprenant aussi car très déroutant. Chouette découverte !”

“#24DaysOfRum2023 - Day 14 Extremely mild -not light(!)- on the nose. Very atypical blend of aromas that I would have never placed in Barbados. My blind guess would have been a smooth agricole of some sorts. Opens with honeydew melon, green tea and hints of wood polish before making way into wider fruity and barrel-oriented territory. Then it presents apples, lots of citrus and perhaps a tad of mango. All in combination with lighter sugars, marzipan and crème fraîche, and a hefty amount of wood spice. Very interesting. In the mouth my instinct tells me again that it’s not very Bajan at all, but unfortunately the drop is diluted into oblivion. I had to drink nearly the entire sample to pick up one or two aromas. In the end it’s simple syrup that has been laid on barrel. Additionally it’s overshadowed by a rather metallic taste. Very enjoyable nose, very disappointing taste. I should have poured the sample back into the vial and kept it to nose once in a while. Ah well…”

“Für nur 40% ist das schon ok. Honig, Rauch, Holz. Leider geht die Frucht da unter und ich fand das Geschmacksprofil so schon etwas penetrant und unausgewogen. Dazu noch ein wässriges Mundgefühl.”

“RumX Advent calendar. Would have never guessed it was a wird. Very smooth dram, but not that much to say, nor such a particular profile, just wood and vanilla”
