    Als Mitbringsel aus Frankreich geschenkt bekommen. Oft erhält man Rum-Trinker ja eher solche Abfüllungen geschenkt, die ich gerne als Supermarkt-Rum bezeichne, weshalb ich mich über diese Abfüllung besonders gefreut habe. Auch wenn diese Abfüllung nicht in der oberen Liga des Landes auch nur ansatzweise mitspielt, so handelt es sich doch um eine spannende Abfüllung. Blind hätte ich hier vielleicht sogar auf einen Whisky getippt, da das durchaus leichte, rauchige und fast schon süßliche Profil nicht ganz zu dem passt, was man mit Guyana verbindet. Zusammen mit einer leichten Kräutrigkeit ind vielleicht einer Spur Honig schließt sich dann allerdings der Guyana-Kreis doch noch irgendwie.

    8,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is grassy and fruity with green banana, litchi, perhaps green apple. We feel some esters. When aired a bit, some vanilla comes out, the cedar wood is light and a bit roasted, there is a touch of a yeast and caramel. Sometimes, there is an impression of pungency, it comes with an anise. After a nice rest, we could find some dried fruits... 8,1:On the palate, the attack is grassy, spicy and fruity, the banana is still green, cardamom with a combination of red bell pepper brings the feeling of drinking grappa or whisky. The molasses does its job with bringing creamy touch with some bitterness, as our tasting buds are attacked with herbal notes, licorice, possible menthol and the wood is roasted with caramel, vanilla, nuts and a whiff of chocolate. There is a pleasant feeling of sweetness, dryness and at last some fleeting smokiness...if we persist, we are rewarded with a raspberry. 8,2:The finish is long, sweet&dry and creamy with vanilla, caramel, the wood is still spicy, banana a bit ripe...

    Nez assez gourmand avec quelques épices, de la vanille, des fruits confits et de très légers solvants En bouche, les épices dominent amplement, les fruits confits se font discrets,puis le tabac et le côté boisé viennent réveiller la langue. Finale moyenne sur les épices type muscade, cardamome... La bouche est décevante par rapport au nez.

    Port Mourant? Tastes like a light whisky with no character. Thats why El Dorado rum is a blend.
