    Tag 9 RumX Adventskalender: mein erster Gedanke war sofort Guyana, Uitvlugt und ja den kennst du. Mal kurz den 1997er The Rum Cask gegen getestet. Ja das isser... dachte ich... Vielleicht ist der TRC noch etwas geschmeidiger. Sonst sehr ähnlich und daher auch eine nahezu identische Punktzahl von mir.

    Update: Still one of my favorite from KillDevil😍 #9 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: N: Woody, herbal, toasted, tobacco, peaches, pear M: licorice, minty, wood, vanilla, black tea, herbal, delicious F: wood(oak), vanilla, dry, delicious, tannins Prediction: sounds like an good old guyana, approx. 15-20y and 55-65%…. It‘s a very delicious rum from kill devil. Best rum of the RumXCalendar, so far! Alcohol is integrated very good. Nose: peaches, pear, fresh, herbal, pineapple, tobacco, caramel, olive Mouth: Dry, sweet, delicious, minty, olive, anise, vanilla, roasted, oak(barrel) Finish: dry, astringend, oak, vanila, tannins, herbal, roasted, black tea

    RumX advent calendar 9.12.21: This time I have the Uitvlugt erkannt👏🏻🤪 Nose: initially restrained but with time it reveals a very diverse profile. A lot of lychee comes through in the mouth. Overall very fine, very complex and delicate. Perfect alcohol. What I like here is the sweetness, which rounds off the profile well. I found this a little lacking in the older representatives I've tasted so far.

    Sehr schöner kräuteriger Uitvlugt!
