Borgoe 8-Year

Borgoe 8 year was in short fantastic.I'm a whisky lover but this rum was super.

This run was recommended by a friend owning a liquor specialising in rum. I am used to drinking Santa Teresa 1796. I found the strong oak barrel taste at first irritating. However, after the second glass my taste buds got used to it and the rum has a rich unique taste with a fantastic finish. I like it as much, or better, than my best cognac. I am on my 4th bottle just to make sure. I would take it over most premium dark rums. Highly recommended. No too sweet. I would not waste it for mixing or with ice .... not would be a crime.

Havde ikke forventet mig det store af denne rom fra Surinam, men blev positivt overrasket. Duft af fad og lidt vanilje med et lille strejf af karamel, hvilket også gælder for smagen, når man lige er kommet sig over den første sprit, som man lægger ud med. God dybde i smagen, som har en lang finish. (19. December 2018)

This was a 50ml sample I received that is a delightful suprise . Tastes a very young rum but lovely on the pallette. I'm unsure if it's artificiality sweetened ..

Good stuff; crisp start, smooth finish. Highly recommended.

Lucka 19. Len och god utan att sticka ut. Lång eftersmak

I find this a really acceptable rum. Although it's dry, which I do not prefer, it has a little sweetness and a noticable burn. Is it an Agricole?,,,I'm not sure but tastes like it. Overall I
enjoyed the few glasses I drank from a friend's bottle. Hope hé has something left when I visit him again.

God doft, kryddig smak som blir kvar i munnen. Positivt överraskad.

A dark amber shines in the glass. The nose is very alluring with various citrus notes hinting at grapefruit and pomelo along with brown sugar. It’s kinda mineralised. In the mouth you still get the citrus fruits and brown sugar but also oak and tobacco on the finish. It’s medium bodied, aromatic and decently rounded. Reminding me a bit of el dorado 12, but not quite as sweet. Thoroughly enjoyable. 7,5.

Very tasty and easy going with cola. Mixes very well in cocktails. Gives you that summer feeling
