Stipkavejsie, interesting, longer, distinctly nuts and almonds, probably the longest stiplavost but we'll see, the second degu...aroma of almond butter and fine spirity, oak, in the taste simpler, subtle sweetness, but also still at 5 years old quite pungent, but I'm raising to 7.8m from 7.6
A solid rum, good for cocktails ok for sipping. The nose gives off caramel, vanilla, and oak notes with a little banana. The rum is light on the tongue with caramel and vanilla as the primary taste. The finish is slightly better than the palate with vanilla, dried fruit, and barrel spices.
01.05.2019 Nice tasting with friends including my slow cooked pot roast. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, light wood, faint roasted, dried fruit, caramel, light floral, spice. Palate Light, sweet, light wood, dried fruit, light floral, faint pineapple, spice, light chocolate, light caramel. Finish Short to medium, light wood, sweet, light dried fruit, faint citrus, light chocolate, faint caramel. Extra note. Surprisingly good at the age and price tag.
A good rum for mixing to provide a pretty classic baking spices and sweets note. If I’m reaching something in this style to sip, I’m going all the way to Foursquare ECA. This lacks to complexity of dark tobacco notes and highlights, like orange zest, that elevate Foursquare’s premium product. Still very nice and great value.
