"Ein weicher angenehmer Agricole, der mehr auf der fruchtigen Seite steht. Etwas spĂ€ter gesellen sich am Gaumen leichte Fass- und Bitternoten dazu. Im Abgang erscheinen dezente pflanzliche Aromen. GefĂ€llt mir ganz gut⊠auf jeden Fall ein StĂŒck Geschichte im Glas (Destille seit langem geschlossen) PS: fĂŒr so einen alten Rum mit geringem ABV hat er noch richtig Dampf"
"Un nez beau mais doux, beurrĂ© avec des agrumes, Ă©corces dâorange et pamplemousse rose, de lâananas, un cĂŽtĂ© herbacĂ© et un cĂŽtĂ© doux, mielleux. La bouche est aussi un peu beurrĂ©e et douce et toujours le cĂŽtĂ© agrumes assez marquĂ©. La finale est longue, trĂšs longue ce qui est rare avec surtout des arĂŽmes fruitĂ©s. Le boisĂ© reste lĂ©ger mais soutient les autres arĂŽmes. TrĂšs beau rhum qui donne envie dâen boire sans soif ! LâABV relativement bas ne ne gĂȘne pas du tout."
"#4235 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. I wonder where this bottle came from but it was a nice surprise once revealed. Fruity with really nice flowery notes. I'd say it was close to what you pick up when you walk into a womens perfume store. Love the cherry in the profile, which is a bit light and I would have loved a higher ABV. Draws nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some coconut, wet grass and chocolate."
"Damals zusammen mit einem Teil der Franconian Tasting Gang verkostet. Eine schöne RaritÀt. Das war es aber dann auch leider schon. Nichts desto trotz ein sehr schöner Rum mit tollen Aromen, aber vermutlich war die Erwartungshaltung einfach zu hoch."
