Much better than expected, but somehow watered down and a very short finish. More for mixing. In summary, however, the opinion I had before about this rum has already been confirmed. Thanks to Tschusikowsky for the sample.
Ein wenig kribblig im Mund. Gute Trinkstärke, wenn auch der Alkohol dafür relativ präsent wirkt. Das Geschmacksprofil wäre gar nicht so schlecht, verblasst im Mund aber relativ rasch. Spanisch aber interessant, insgesamt gut aber nicht vollends überzeugend. Bonuspunkte gibts für die meines Erachtens wunderschön designte und von Hand beschriftete Flasche und die schmeckbare tropische Reife.
Tolle, aber etwas dünne Nase, wobei sie sehr holzlastig ist und viele Einflüsse einer Bourbonlagerung aufweist. Im Mund recht schwach, da kommt leider nicht viel durch. Insgesamt gut und das Bourbonfass bringt eine zusätzliche Seite, aber der Rum bleibt gänzlich ohne Ausreißer nach oben.
Schöne fruchtige Nase mit holzigen, blumigen Tönen sowie Mandel und Karamell. Am Gaumen ein intensiver Fasseinfluss mit viel Holz, Zitrusfrüchten, Kräutern und Mandeln. Nur der Körper könnte bei dieser Trinkstärke etwas üppiger sein, welcher die Würzigkeit ein Wenig vernachlässigt. Butterscotch, Zimt und Nelken sind dennoch wahrnehmbar mit Kakao im Hintergrund. Der kurze bis mittellange Abgang hat angenehme Kräuter-und Schwarzteenoten und greift noch einmal das Fass, die Mandel und den Kakao auf.
