    How does this rum taste?

    Secret Treasures Old Barbados 1986 by Fassbind AG is a 14-year aged rum from Barbados' West Indies distillery. Distilled from molasses, it offers a 40% ABV profile. User reviews highlight its subtle citrus and vanilla notes, combined with a honey-like floral nuance. While some appreciate its mild and aromatic qualities, others find it overly diluted, impacting its overall flavor depth. Smoky and woody elements are also noted, but features like a short, unimpressive finish are common critiques. With its intriguing yet polarizing profile, this rum presents a varied tasting experience, suited to those seeking a light, less intense spirit.

    RumX Adventskalender Nr.14: Vanille und Zitrusfrüchte in der Nase und im Abgang. Die 14 Jahre Fasslagerung kam nicht wirklich hervor.

    RumX Adventskalender 2023 Tag 14

    Nase: Ananas, Mango, Banane, Baumnuss, Leim Gaumen: Banane, Vanille, grasig, blumig, Cashew Nuss, etwas Leim. Eigentlich gut aber einfach zu lasch.

    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 !
