Po 3 letech opět ochutnávám kus z 24DoR. Ve vůni docela zaujmou citrusy, nějaké bonbóny a kandované ovoce. Chuť zase citrusy, zázvorky, snad eukalyptový bonbón. Závěr grepfrujtový, koření, trochu pepř. Sladkost je tam dobře integrovaná, že s tím vůbec nemám problém.
Very sweet aromas of dried fruits, marzipan and arrak. The taste does not dissapoint! Incredible round and sweet at first and then the taste of spices after a few seconds. Very pleasant taste that makes this an excellent sipping rum and one That I frequently reccomends. (Easy to find here in Sweden and at €27 it is a bargain)
I have to say that this rum did not impress me much. I taste a lot of honey and peaches. For the price, it's probably ok, but I'd rather use it in a mixed drink.
Sehr schöner Rum zum genießen, nicht zu schwer. Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene
