Mombacho XO Cuvee Prestige

Rum tasting in the Finnish wilderness with my good old friend started with Mombacho XO. Very nice high end bottle and label design. Mahogany color. Strong and dry oakiness to your nose and palate when neat sipped. Dry but short burn at the end.

Monbacho XO Cuvee Prestige is the best rum for me.
Very rich and deep taste, has butter caramel, high quality dark chocolate and elegant sweetness and long after taste.

This one was part of the Rum Calendar 2016: it was pretty tasteless.

Sattes dunkles Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase, zarte Holznoten werden elegant von in Karamell eingelegten Trockenfrüchten getragen.
Im Gaumen, geschmeidig und lieblich verbreiten sich Aromen von Zuckerrohr, Karamell und kandierten Früchten. Sehr, sehr süss, sehr süffig aber ein wenig eindimensional.
Im Abgang hält die Süsse sehr lange an, begleitet von fruchtigen Holztönen.
Ein nicht so anspruchsvoller Rum für alle Tage.

Dark amber amber in the glass.
In the nose, delicate wood notes are elegantly worn by caramels inserted dry fruits.
In the palate, supple and sweet spreads aromas of sugar cane, caramel and candied fruit. Very, very sweet, very tasty but a little one-dimensional.
In the finish the sweetness lasts very long, accompanied by fruity woody notes.
A not so demanding rum for all days.
