    Edit: nochmal auf der Village'25 probiert für 30€ ein guter Mixer Kurz bei Serge mittags beim Sampletausch probiert. Eine postive Überraschung was man hier für das Geld geboten bekommt. Für das er keine Dosage zusätzlich bekommen hat relativ süß. Als Sipper für zwischendurch durchaus zu empfehlen.

    Klebstoff, Lack, Schokolade, Rosine und etwas Banane in der Nase. Speziell Klebstoff und Lack tun sich hervor. Dahinter subtiler auch Nuss und kräftiges Holz. Über allem liegt aber intensiver, dunkler Sherry. Am Gaumen dann vergleichsweise trocken, aber enorm intensiv im Sherry. Würzig, mit Schokolade und Keks (in nicht süß). Hier wird der Wein dann alkoholischer, der Rest bleibt leider relativ dünn und blass. Was wirklich schade ist, denn hier wäre sehr viel Luft nach oben. Etwas Süßung hätte meines Erachtens nach durchaus gepasst.

    Had a Bellamy's Reserve tasting yesterday and it was kind of a disappointment to say the least. Here's the last of the six. The glue and varnish is very dominant in the nose but fortunately it's not on the palate. There is no doubt that this one was finished in Pedro Ximenes casks because the sherry shines brightly in this one :-) OK balanced rum and the price is also OK.

    Also ich muss sagen, dass das PX finish hier erstens nicht so süß ist (schmeckt wirklich nach einem trockenen Fass und die Sherry-Noten sind angenehm) und dass das Finish diesen (ja doch eher etwas langweiligen) El Salvador doch durchaus aufwertet. Sherry, Schokolade, Trockenfrüchte, Kakao, Rosine, Butterkeks, karamellisierter Zucker, Fass. Mir ist er allerdings etwas zu dünn. Aber durchaus pur trink ar und mixt sich auch ganz geil.
