Signature Blend #2

Wow, a sweet fruitiness immediately emanates when pouring. The sweetness disappears quickly, after which the Jamaican funk with banana remains in the foreground and the Guyana part with raisins and malt in the background. Guyana is then clearly stronger on the palate.

Unnaturally sweet

Exciting, extraordinary. Nice funky and sher fruity. A lot of green banana. I like and can recommend. Really

#5045 10.01.2025 Enjoying some samples at home. Nose Light wood, light chocolate, light roasted, light tannins, spice, dried fruit, banana, light earthy. Palate Oily, wood, light roasted, light tannins, light earthy, spice, faint sugarcane, faint coffee, light chocolate, light herbal, raisin. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, light tannins, dried fruit, spice, light caramel, faint salt. The empty glass has stronger caramel, dried fruit, light mint and some tobacco.

A Blend combining Jamaican funkiness and Guyana sweetness. The nose is dominated by the Jamaican influence of tropical fruits and solvents, with some notes of freshness and spices. In contrast, Guyana takes over on the palate with its chocolate, spice and caramel notes. The finish is more smoky and toasted, but unfortunately too short. A Blend that lacks a bit of balance, power and complexity but with an interesting quality/price ratio.

For me, Jamaica dominates the nose at first. Very fruity, green banana very dominant, subconsciously also melon. Then raisins and some fig. On the palate, Jamaica also dominates at first, but this time ripe banana and that Jamaican funk. Slightly peppery after a while. All in all, a great blend that I really like. I'll buy a bottle if it's still available for the price.

A very light, easy-to-drink blend. Mostly fruity, slightly funky. It's not exceptional and too reduced to stand out from the crowd. But I think it's still a pretty nice blend.

On the nose Molasses comes first soon followed by soft wood and caramel notes. Raisin, estery funk and a little black tea at the end. On the palate it switches it up and the wood comes straight to the front. Personally I didn't get much fruit on the palate. There's also lots of dark chocolate in there. That tea taste still lingers. The finish becomes a little smoky and has a touch of leather, but nothing unpleasant to my taste. I prefer the Signature Blend #1 but this is a decent rum. I think the tea notes but me off.

A nose with a very interesting fruity side. The palate is more toasted but the whole lacks overall power.

A weird combo of Jamaica and Guyana, especially for the intended use in mai tai. As a dipper it works eventhzit starts completely Jamaica and ends completely in Guyana. But, it makes a really nice Mai Tai. Probably one of my better blends in dmthis drink

Edit: eine weitere Flasche dem Bottlekill zugeführt. Leider war er zum Schluss pur für mich viel zu schwach. Aber als Mixer für die damaligen 17€ im Angebot ein wirklicher Kracher im CubaLibre. Für den Preis, den ich damals gezahlt habe, ist er gar nicht so schlecht. Fande ihn am Anfang irgendwie gar nicht so gut, aber nachdem er wohl jetzt länger geöffnet war, finde ich ihn gut. Vermutlich hat ihm das Atmen nicht schlecht getan. Deshalb wurde er von mir nach oben korriegiert.

Ein relativ süßer Rum, der auf jeden Fall fruchtig schmeckt. Sehr schön und für 42% gut zu genießen. Im Abgang sehr, sehr kurz, man schmeckt nach kurzer Zeit schon kaum mehr was im Mund. Kann man machen.

Very fruity on the nose.the wood arrives in the mouth.the finish remains on the wood.

It drinks well, it is a good blend. One resent well the 2 origins of the rums of the assembly.

Vanilla, tangerine, pineapple, praliné, fig and egg liquor. A light whiff of sulphur in the nose. In the taste more orange and raisin. Cherry bonbon too. Cocoa, hazelnut and a tad of smoke in the finish. Good value-for-money.
