Velier Chamarel Blend

This is a wow factor rum, because you don't expect a Chamarel to taste like this. The nose is fruity with spices and wood. Leather, tobacco and licorice and a hint of grass follows. The palate is intense, oily and dry with wood, fruit and spice followed by coffee, tobacco, chocolate and wine. Overall the palate is spicy. The finish is long and spicy with tobacco and raisin. The finish is dry like the palate. Price to quality can be discussed.

Solid rhum, but nothing more. That it was bottled by Velier, you do not notice here (the rhum is in no way somehow outstanding), but that should be heartily indifferent in an evaluation of smell and taste. We are not talking about the bottle price here ... So again: Solid bottling, solid 80 points.

A fresh herbaceous nose, with a floral spice, something like mace. Slightly sweet of honey. Something fruity, perhaps slightly towards apricot. On the palate salty-sweet, spicy with anise and vanilla. But also something fruity, perhaps in the direction of sour cherry. Shortly comes something bitter and then immediately again something tart-sweet. A light almond note can also be heard. In the finish green tea and grassy sugar cane. Nice flavor curve.

I was very taken aback by the salty side, I wasn't expecting it at all.

Velice prijemny vzorek, alkohol akorat, prijemne chute dreva, lehce ovoce a tabak. Tohle me fakt bavi

In buon rum ad un prezzo più che ragionevole....appena apertala bottiglia un po troppo alcolico ma con un po' di ossigeno l' eccesso sparisce

Still has that hint of sugarcane/molasses as a base taste but aftertaste is more like peated scotch whiskey. Very fresh.
