Genauso stelle ich ihn mir vor und genauso schmeckt er auch. Trotz des geringen ABV ist er denoch genial und braucht auch wirklich mehr wumms. Rundum ein sehr gelungener Tropfen, von dem ich sehr gerne eine Flasche besitzen würde.
Ein sehr sehr guter Vertreter der alten Demerara 😍 Dieser hier hat ein Profil das mir sehr gut gefällt. Die 46% sind nicht zu flach, ganz im Gegenteil passen perfekt zu diesem sehr runden, komplexen Rum.
GRF13: Stand Catawiki: Emilé hatte mal wieder ein paar schöne alte Rum dabei. Dieser Demerara hat mich dabei am meisten überzeugt. Er bringt herrlich ausbalancierte Aromen mit, die sich mit dem perfekt integrierten Alkohol angenehm verteilen. Schön, dass man so etwas noch probieren kann
