Rum Rarities Orator RUM - Fass #2 2016

Community finds a very dry, wood- and wine-driven rum with interesting nutty and roasted notes, but many criticize the sharp alcohol, strong tannins and vinegar-like edge. Overall: niche but intriguing.

    How does this rum taste?

    Dry, woody, wine-driven cask strength
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like bold, wine-cask single malts or Armagnac at full proof, this Swiss rum scratches the same itch: interesting, rustic, but definitely not about comfort or sweetness.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers seeking sweetness, softness or classic molasses rum flavors rather than dry wood, tannins and wine acidity.

    Aroma

    Woody Sherry Alcoholic Fruity

    Eine sehr fruchtige elegante Nase mit allerdings präsentem Alkohol… am Gaumen ist deutlich Holz mit Espresso wahrzunehmen… aber auch hier… der Alkohol ist sehr präsent… und überdeckt die Aromen, schade!

    RumX-Adventskalender, 8.12., blind. Erster Eindruck: nicht eindeutig, vlt. Guyana mit Sherry- oder Rotwein-Finish… >60% Nase: würzig, kräftig und doch fruchtig. Zuerst eine starke Rotwein- oder Sherry-ähnliche und holzige Duftwolke gefolgt von Papaya, einem Hauch Kokos, einer leichten Orangen/Birnen-Note und leicht geschwefelter, getrockneter Aprikose. Süße von braunem Zucker und Sahnetoffee mit Vanille folgt. Gaumen: trocken und adstringent, bitter und würzig. Auch hier wieder die Sherry/Rotwein-Note mit Traube. Holzig, malzig und röstig. Würzig in Richtung Muskat und vlt. Etwas Nelke. Am Ende deutlich Haselnuss. Mal was anderes, jung, Fasstärke, Eigenproduktion aus der Schweiz. Biomelasse aus Paraguay in einen Brunello Di Montalcino Fass ausgebaut. Durchaus interessant. Danke dafür 😊

    RumX Adventskalender 2021 Tag 8 Sehr speziell in der Nase ...

    #8 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: N: dried blum, prunes, fruity, young wood, leather M: spicy, dry, roasted, smoky, prunes F: wood(oak), vanilla, dry, astringend, tannins, smoky Prediction: could be a blend, origin: quite difficult here: i would go with south america, approx. 10y and 55-60%…. Nice sample from switzerland 😱 Alcohol could be integrated much better. Not Time nor some drops of water helps… Not that type of rum i like… Nose: dried fruits (plum, prunes), fruity , vanilla, cedar wood, leather, spicy Mouth: Dry, spicy, roasted, smoky, prunes, apricot, bitter, grappa, oak Finish: dry, astringend, warm, wood(oak), vanilla, smoky, floral
