A very dark and complex rum with Christmas spices. The nose is complex, spicy and woody with scents of vanilla, clove, oak and caramel. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s complex, fruity, spicy, sweet and a little sharp with flavors of plum, cinnamon, clove, caramel and oak.
#4292 07.10.2023 this was a 7 hour long event with 3 friends and it was a nice day. This one was a huge surprise. Despite the low ABV it still carries a lot of flavours. Fruity and well balanced with great ABV integration. The palate is sweet, medium dry and fruity. The finish is medium long and fresh. Love the caramel touch it has. The empty glass had light chocolate and a faint coffee note. Price to quality is very good in my mind.
really good Bermuda rum! very complex, fruity, spicy, fresh, slightly bitter, well woody and simply very balanced. one of the better drinking strength Bermuda rums! Certainly cuts a fine figure in corn n oil and in the Bermuda yacht club.
Der letzte für heute. Aber gar nicht so verkehrt. Schöne Nase bestehend aus Schokolade und Vanille etc. Am Gaumen kommt dann noch etwas Holz dazu, ansonsten ein echt guter Rum, besser als der Durchschnittt. Empfehlung.
