Deadhead Aged

I have enjoyed this rum neat on many occasions and still can't believe how smooth and balanced it is.

molasses and sugar cane juice. half dry rum.
i smell some burn, grassy fruity notes, some candy.
i taste a light rum. for a pot still it is very light bodied. licorice. citric elements. raisin. the grassy notes of an agricole in a low amount.
5/10. drinkable. but nothing more.a waste of time if you want to enjoy a good spirit.

Een van de stoerste flessen op de markt, doet me denken aan de koppensnellers van kippenvel. Jammer genoeg is de inhoud het tegenovergestelde. Puur is deze rum voor mij niet te drinken. Ook met cola blijf je de heel scherpe en straffe houtsmaak proeven. Voor mij een no go.

Een fantastische fles die heel mooi in de rumkast staat. De jaloerse blikken zijn echter ongegrond want ondanks een mooie donkerbruine kleur en een lekker chocoladegeurtje blijft er weinig overeind bij de 'tasting'...

Een sterke, houtachtige smaak overheerst en zorgt voor een erg bitter smaakpalet. Soms komen oog en tong echt niet tot een compromis...

Een collectersitem om in de kast te hebben. Puur voor de lay-out. Kan zijn verwachtingen niet inlossen. Zeer jammer.

a to je asi všetko čo sa dá k nemu povedať . Voní pekne , skoro rovnako ako Don Papa ... O chuti sa toho popísať veľa nedá nakoľko chuť tohoto rumu sa stráca asi po dvoch troch sekundách a v ústach vám ostáva iba alkohol ... Nič moc, velmi podpriemerný

Very disappointing for the price point. Very boozy, and burns. Aromas were nice, but second and third sips were just as strong. It as if some one took a nice rum and added a tequila shot to it.
Not recommended

Taste rather after tequila with a distinct aftertaste of alcohol.

This was decent and wierd flavour... Was quite privileged to try it as quite rare in the UK

As with all rums that come in novelty bottles, I wasn't expecting much (especially after being burned by the $45 usd Pumpkin Face "Premium" white rum...).

I expected to have a few sips with some rum imbiber friends, have a few laughs at those few sips, then dump the rest of the bottle in a summertime Punch/Sangria at the next family BBQ and then just keeps the bottle as a display piece for the next TIKI night.

What I found was a NICE lightly spiced rum that is easy to drink.
Okay, that being said, I know it won't replace the Appleton Estate Exclusive or the Dos Maderas Luxus as my top 2 sipping rums, but I won't be hiding it from my guests that know I'm a serious rum amateur either.

I has a well marked pepperiness that will make (daytime) cocktails linger in your mouth without overpowering all the other ingredients; it's slightly sweet but not syrupy ; it was a hint of sugar cane but reminds me more of Cachaça than something made with molasses.

All in all, not a bad rum ...and it even comes in a pretty remarkable container.
