Duft af fermenteret frugt og træ. Smagen heldigvis mere blød med honning og vanilje. Dog en smule fad og røg, som trækker ned. Dog også en sød og frugtig rom. Selvom rommen kun er 2 år, så er den faktisk bedre end man kan forvente af så ung en rom. (2. december 2021 i 1423)

Dunkles Strohgelb im Glas.
In der Nase sehr wandelbar, mit jeder Minute und jedem Grad mehr verändert sich der Duft extrem.
Anfangs sehr leicht, holzig und karamellig, später moosig und erdig mit etwas Kirsche, sehr speziell, sehr interessant.
Am Gaumen sanft, exotisch, verführerisch. Creme brulée mit Karamellflocken und ganz leichten Holznuancen.
Im Abgang etwas Karamell mit Salz.
Ein toller Rum mit einem eigenen Style der mich an thailändischen Rum erinnert. Für Entdecker und Geniesser. 7+

Dark straw yellow in the glass.
In the nose very changeable, with every minute and every degree more the scent changes extremely. Initially very light, woody and caramel, later mossy and earthy with some cherry, very special, very interesting.
On the palate soft, exotic, seductive. Creme brulée with caramel flakes and very light wood nuances.
In the finish some caramel with salt.
A great rum with its own style that reminds me of Thai rum. For explorers and connoisseurs. 7+

Personal opinion.

Took a few sips of this and then poured it out. This is possibly one of the worst rums or alcohol in general, that I have every tasted. It smells and tastes like the cheap alcohol that you can find in really really cheap chocolate candy.

The smell is like rancid raisins and rotten wood.

The taste does not fare better with an unbalanced and overwhelming artificial taste of raisins and cherries. The first sip of this was offensive, but after trying several sips more to give it a fair chance I can tell you that it is absolutely appalling. So much so that it made me feel nauseated. If someone offered me a glass of this I would be offended.

Had just a sample of this rum from Cambodia.
The distillery is Cambodias first and was started up by two Venezuelan guys.
The distillery produce Latin styled rum distilled in a copper Pot Still.
The gold version is a blend, with added honey, aged for two to three years in ex-bourbon and sherry casks made of French and American oak.
‍In nose I recognize vanilla, oak and sweet notes.
‍On the palate It’s about the same but I also recognize honey and chocolate.
During the medium long finish It’s sweet and I recognize honey.
‍Overall it’s better than expected and I wouldn’t hesitate if someone offered me glass.
Picture: My emptied sample poured in a glass.

Haven't had any Cambodian rums before and this one was really good, not too sweet, very complex and a strong ripe banana note.

Aroma: some sweeter scents like vanilla and honey, I noticed some wood-ish scent? I let the rum sit in the glass for a while to "breathe out" and noticed some fruit in combination with chocolate.

Taste: after a few minutes I tested this rum and some flavors open up, especially the sweeter ones, and yeah that wood-ish flavor. Unfortunately the "finish" was nothing but alcohol flavor, and it killed everything for me.

Overall: Few days before I tried this rum, I read some article about it, and people overall say "it is not rum for everybody." I do not like this rum at all. Maybe I will try it again in the future, after I will try much more rums and will find out what I like/do not like. But for now it is big NO.

Mildly sweet herbal nose and taste, nothing profound though.
