William Grant & Sons Discarded Spirits Discarded Banana Peel

Alcohol not particularly well integrated, overall somewhat artificial after rubber bananas and slightly sour. I was hoping for much more! But super tasty for cocktails and a cool idea with a zero waste background!

So this time, when ordering rum and co, I decided against a bad tasting glass and opted for a SpiritDrink. There's not much to say about this sample: sweet, alcoholic, banana and artificial. For me, it doesn't work at all neat, in an espresso, well. Will end up in the rum drawer for baking.

Nice but very sweet, good for a few but not a bottle

The nose smacks you with bananas coated in cocoa powder and brown sugar. Very sweet palate. Bananas, obviously, but more complex than the nose. Cappuccino, vanilla and cola. In the finish the cola notes take over the bananas. It a short finish though. Not terrible. It's syrupy and clogging but I'm sure it would work buried in fruit juice. Nothing on La Hechicera's Banana Rum.

I love bananas so I really enjoy this, very sweet and overwhelming banana

Starke Süße. Wenn auch anfangs beeindruckende Banane in Geruch und Geschmack besticht er später doch durch eher unangenehm hohe Süße und sonst eher leer. Ein netter Geschmack für zwischendurch oder zum Präsentieren etwas „Ausgefallenem“ jedoch eher zu lau für feine Genüsse.

Ein herrlich milder Rum den man gut nach dem Essen als Nachtisch genießen kann

Unsurprisingly, it tastes strongly of banana :-) The nose has a rather fruity banana smell and the same on the palate. A great long drink when mixed with cola, better than expected on its own, but not much to do with rum.

Unfortunately, the alcohol is surprisingly poorly integrated and the taste is also too sweet. Lots of banana, somewhat artificial in places. Great cocktail ingredient.

Künstliche Haribo-Banane

The banana goes here brute forward. Of course, so overripe and with 'ner good portion of chocolaty cake there. Wonderfully wacky, very exciting nose.In the mouth then very sweet, but despite the just 37.5% with some alcoholic sharpness on the way. But that goes very directly into the roasted flavors and a huge influence of the bourbon barrels.I personally like it, but you have to be aware of what you're getting into. Then it can be fun, especially when mixing.

Schmeckt überraschend nach Banane. In der Nase hat man einen ziemlich fruchtigen Bananengeruch und im Gaumen dasselbe. Mit Cola gemischt bestimmt ein super Longdrink. Hat eben nicht viel mit Rum zu tun.

The banana really first comes out in the finish

On the nose there is strong banana, but to taste it's much more subtle - still there nevertheless. Notes of vanilla come through but the taste quickly dissipates leaving the fruit flavours lingering on the nose. I love the story behind the rum and actually would like to cook with this rum and mix it into cocktails more than drink it neat or with a mixer.

Made primarily from banana skins this tastes of banana and toffee - not too sweet excellent over ice or on its own
