Zapach: Melasa, wanilia, beczka, cukierki kukułki. Zapach jest średnio intensywny ale przyjemny.

Smak: Cukierki kukułka, karmel, melasa, nuty ananasa, trochę kakao. Cały czas towarzyszy nam wyraźna słodycz a także rozgrzewający Alkohol.

Mimo braku deklaracji wieku Rum nie sprawia wrażenia młodego, ale zakładam że nie leżakował zbyt długo. Ewidentnie jest to trunek jakościowy, użyto do jego maturacji dobrej jakości beczek Nie jest to też rum przesadzony bądź sztuczny - a tego się trochę obawiałem. Jako nabywcy otrzymujemy produkt dorosły, graficznie ciekawie zapakowany który śmiało można spożywać solo.

Niestety ma też minusy - jak to stany zjednoczone Ameryki mają w zwyczaju całość wieńczy sztuczny gumowy korek (ale to pierdoła - czepiam się). Największym moim zdaniem problemem jest wyraźny posmak alkoholu po przełknięciu. Cena jaką zapłaciłem w Makro - Około 90pln uważam za dobrze dobraną i nie przesadzoną.

Ocena: 79/100

Ναι ..... Ρούμι από την Αμερική , όσο κι αν ξενίζει κάποιους ...... καλό ευκολόπιοτο , θυμίζει burbon , άξιζε τη δοκιμή και άφησε μια ευχάριστη αίσθηση ...... Σίγουρα δε μπαίνει στα αγαπημένα μου , αλλά είναι ένα καλό (not sweet) ρούμι ...... Μη φοβάστε τη χώρα προέλευσης και κάθε λογής "δαιμόνια" !!!!!!!!
* Πίνεται ευχάριστα και σφηνάκι !

Belle bouteille mais goût triché ( goût ajoutez après vieillissement) par la description semblait très prometteur mais goût un peu neutre

I wish I could say that I love this rum and that it was great, but it wasn't. Selling for around $30.00 this rum is overpriced artificial sugary rum. No depth, single flavor notes, and smells of rubbing alcohol this rum is was a disappointment to the legacy that crescent city rum left behind. You are better of saving your mone and just getting Bacardi.

Not a bad rum, but not a great rum. Has a good nose and the initial hit is a combination of molasses and oak. Finish is a bit weak and has nutmeg undertones.

Frankly this rum could use more time in a barrel and I would like to see it come at barrel proof instead of 80 proof. I really think there is a lot of flavor there, but Bayou waters it down. The potential is there.

Un très bel équilibre, puissant malgré ses 40% sans être agressif. Le nez rappelle la Jamaïque 🇯🇲 tandis qu’en bouche on pense à un Rhum de Guadeloupe 🇬🇵 c’est super !

Drank this when a representative of a spirits distribution company came to introduce his products at the hotel were I work. Not sure about this one, I might need to procure a bottle because it is intriguing and might secretly be good. Apparently it's a blend of molasses rum and sugarcane juice rum ('agricole' if you like) and it shows, it's fairly 'green' and dry and has some bite. It could probably have done with a bit more aging to take the edge off, it did taste a bit raw. Not many people would enjoy drinking this straight, I suspect, but for the hard drinkers out there - and I include myself - on the right occasion this might just be what you need.

Tried some at the Manchester Rum Festival and got a little sample to take home. The sales rep said it was meant as a sipper but for me it doesn't stand out as a sipper in anyway. Heard its the base rum used for their spiced rum, which I liked a lot more.

I think I read this is aged 5 years. If I'm right, this is great for a 5 yr rum. Love the taste. Not too much burn

I really enjoyed the Bayou Silver and I thought that the Select would follow but I was just a little disappointed. I'll agree it needed a little more aging to take the bite out of it.
