Richland Single Estate Old Georgia

Nose: 3/5
Taste: 3/5
Strong rum citruses, nothing special

Avast! This be a fierce but confusing dry rum! She smells like a traditional rum, sweet with caramel, vanilla, and oak, but there be a hint of funk hidin' below deck. Hang me for a lewd cur! I had no idea Jamaica extended into Georgia! There be plenty of alcohol and burn on this wench, but it takes a dozen or so sips to get to know her. She not be terribly sweet, and most of the caramel, vanilla, and oak that lured you in are hiding behind the alcohol, but she will funk you up. The burn does not last long, and there be no specific finish, but she be worth the ride. She be a solid rum that blurs the line between rum and bourbon/whiskey. Or maybe that be what she wants me to think... arrgh!

Mooie geur van butterscotch, kruiden en gerookt hout. Smaak van toffee met een kruidige, rokerige afdronk.

Just got done with the tour. Went with one for mixing with coke. Bought it in cast strength for sipping.

Nosing
Tobacco smoke, grass , olives

Tasting
Sweet olives ,olive oil and sweet bourbon whiskey

I had a high expectation due to nice smell which is full of wood, vanilla, caramel and tobaccoo. But taste is a little bit disapointing. Has similiar flavours profile like smell but weaker, not that complex with harsh finish.

Un nez agréable boisé et poivré.... goût fort qui fait pensez plus a un wiski.

Helles Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase wird der Riechkolben zu beginn richtig deftig von Holzspiessen gepfählt. Vanilleeis und Karamellbonbons mit Hobelspänen von frisch getoasteten Eichenfässern. Verregneter moosiger Waldboden und eine frisch gemähte Blumenwiese weichen die Hölzer etwas auf.
Am Gaumen weich und elegant zu beginn. Schnell verschwinden die Geschmacksknospen hinter einer Bretterwand und lässt die anderen Aromen abprallen. Hinter dem Holzwall sind feine blumig-grasige Noten auszumachen wie bei einem Rhum Agricole. Geräuchertes, angebranntes Karamell mit einer seelenlosen Vanillecreme und ein paar kandierten Früchtchen schwirren auch noch irgendwo herum.
Im Abgang dörrt einem das Holz den Mund aus. Karamell und Vanille verweilen kurz und lassen ein wenig Salz zurück.
Ein sehr schwieriger Rum, eher für Agricole Geniesser die auch ein rauchendes Lagerfeuer lieben.

Light amber in the glass.
In the nose, the olfactory bulb is impaled at the beginning really hearty of wooden skewers. Vanilla ice cream and caramel candy with shavings from freshly toasted oak barrels. Rainy mossy forest floor and a freshly mowed flower meadow soften the woods somewhat.
Soft and elegant on the palate to start. Quickly the taste buds disappear behind a wall of boards, bouncing off the other flavors. Behind the wooden wall, fine floral-grassy notes can be discerned like a Rhum Agricole. Smoked, burnt caramel with a soulless vanilla cream and a few candied fruits buzz around somewhere as well.
On the finish, the wood parches your mouth. Caramel and vanilla linger briefly, leaving a bit of salt behind.
A very difficult rum, more for Agricole connoisseurs who also love a smoking campfire.

Very nice smell. After this smell I excepted too much. Taste not good. Really don't like this rum. It like brandy with wood and coffee.

Aroma is wilder - agricole/jamaican. After breathing appears vanilla and oak. In taste are fighting bourbon and oak tones with grass and floral ones.. Overall impression is inconsistent, patchy.
