Meiner Meinung nach ist das leichte, kandierte und fruchtige Profil der Rums der Destillerie Varela Hermanos gut geeignet mit den Aromen torfrauchiger Whiskyfässer zu einer harmonischen Einheit zusammenzufinden. Mit persönlich ist hier der Islay-Einfluss ein bisschen zu stark ausgeprägt, da bisweilen die Eigenaromen des Destillats doch etwas überlagert werden, aber mit dieser Abfüllung dürfte dennoch jeder Genießer zufrieden sein, der die Kombination aus Rum und Torfrauch mag.
This is a rum in the low price range and I think it performs pretty well when looking at the price tag. The nose is extremely light once rested and there's a bit of workshop in there 😊 Lightly fruity with nice smoky wood and peat is very obvious in the profile. This is probably a rum that can masquerade as a whisky if you want to try it out on your whisky friends.
Finished in an Islay cask. It morphs more into a tobacco flavoured rum than a peaty/medicinal rum. Which makes it more interesting. Some well roasted coffeebeans. Not too sweet. I like it a lot.
Ein kurzer Abgang der stark an Whisky und Zigarre erinnert. Ansonsten vor allem Noten dunkler Schokolade die ich bisher bei jedem Rum aus Panama mehr oder weniger hatte. Hier eher weniger durch die Dominanz von Erde und Zigarre am Ende.
