    How does this rum taste?

    • wahre Fruchtexplosion ohne dabei abschreckend süß zu sein
    • der beste Blend den ich jemals hatte
    • Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden

    Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 14 Nanny of the Maroons greets you with "mega funky" esters, ripe bananas, and what Johannes calls a uniquely "gelungener Blend aus einem agricole aus Ghana und einem Melasse Rum aus Jamaika." The scent leans heavily into overripe fruit and grass, with users like lars linking it to a “spannender Mix aus jungem Jamaicaner und Agricole.” That high ABV (65.3%) brings some punch—some find it “schon etwas scharf im ersten Moment,” but others praise a “wahre Fruchtexplosion” and its surprising smoothness, especially with a drop of water. It’s an energetic, slightly wild blend that wins respect for innovation and its playful balance.

    "A madness this smell! A true fruit explosion without being off-puttingly sweet. The only criticism would be the somewhat sharp finish ... this rum was therefore actually the first I drank with a few drops of water, which takes away the sharpness in the finish and emphasizes the fruit notes even more."

    "Heute 20.8.25 ist doch einiges an Zeit,it vergangen und auch die zweite Anbruch Flasche neigt sich dem Ende zu. Trinkt sich nun etwas entspannter ohne das die Aromen verloren sind. Daher bleibe ich bei meiner Wertung. Ein echt unterschätzter Rum zum tollen Preis bei Release. Schade das ich da nur immer Resteverwerter war😅 war mir aber ein Vergnügen! Und danke Spirit of Rum für diese Innovation! --------- Nanny ist einfach einzigartig gut. Nase ist mega funky mit dem Korb voll Birnen und ordentlich Ester. am Gaumen dann mehr Banane und ein schöner warmen, mehr floral-würzigen Abgang. Freue mich schon auf Nanny Batch 2, die Fassprobe beim GRF war vielversprechend 😊"

    "Und der 3.te im Bunde: die Nanny Auch hier an der Nase eine sehr starke fruchtige Note, mit einem Hauch Olive und etwas Frischem. Am Gaumen schlagen auch hier die 65,3% ordentlich zu! Nach einiger Zeit kommen Fruchtnoten der Banane und kandierte Früchte durch! Der Abgang wird von Pfeffer und pflanzlichem dominiert, da macht sich der Agricole wieder bemerkbar! Von allen drei Ghana-Rum(s) konnte mich nur der Honey-Batcher halbwegs überzeugen"

    "This was the surprise of the evening. A rum blended from two continents and a bottom shelf rum. This one, thinking about the price tag, is a super good rum. When released the price tag was under 50 euro! Very fruity with grass and young wood. I was lucky to bring home the remainder of the bottle which I will savour for a long time to come. This product shows that rum doesn't have to be expensive to compete with the top shelf ones."
