How does this rum taste?
The 'Cuba (Bottled for Perola)' is a limited release rum crafted at the Secrete distillery in Cuba, chosen by Compagnie des Indes and distilled in 2009. Aged for 10 years and bottled at a cask strength of 58.7% ABV, it offers a complex nose with tropical fruit and subtle apple undertones. On the palate, users note spicy and fruity characteristics, with woody and burnt sugar accents. While some find a metallic fresh scent, others mention initial sulphur notes that mellow over time. A few users describe it as not very challenging, yet it delivers notable complexity for a Cuban rum.

Der Geruch wirkt anfänglich etwas abschreckend und nicht sonderlich appetitlich vergoren. Lässt man den Rum atmen kommen tropische Früchte, Apfel und eine gewisse Süße dazu. Im Gaumen ist er dann deutlich besser; hier kommen würzige und Hokzaromen, tropische Früchte und gebrannter Zucker hinzu. Im Abgang ist der Rum rauchig mit Kaffeenoten.
In der Nase ein recht langweiliger, typischer Spanier, der am Gaumen etwas überrascht. Die 57% ABV wirken noch etwas scharf, liefern aber einen vergleichsweise intensiven Geschmack, der vor allem mit einigen rostigen Aromen überzeugt. Für Kuba (zumindest was meine bisherigen Erfahrungen betrifft) recht komplex und intensiv.
Dunkles Gold Geruch: Schwach süß, blumig (Kamille, Stroh, nasses verfaultes Gras), Vanille Vergoren, säuerlich, Quitte Rauch Holzig (virgin cask) Geschmack: Frisch geöffnet adstringierend und trocken im Mund. Nach eintägigem Stehen dagegen eher süß. Beim Schlucken würzig alkoholisch. Dabei fruchtig (Birne) mit etwas Karamell. Holzig Abgang: Mittellang Trocken, würzig, holzig und etwas fruchtig. 80 Punkte Das Sample hat halbvoll von eintägigem Stehen deutlich profitiert. Der Geschmack ist jetzt deutlich runder.
