Cane Island Thailand 5-Year

Kunstig duft af tobak og fermenteret frugt. Smagen dog en smule blød af vanilje, men krydret. En varm oplevelse. Eftersmagen er parfumeret og lidt peber. Jeg er absolut ikke fan af serien fra Cane Island og denne er ingen undtagelse (8. december 2021 i 1423)

Honiggelb mit Kupferreflektionen im Glas.
In der Nase wohlig und irgendwie vertraut. Früchte die schon seit Tagen unter dem Baum in tropischer Hitze liegen. Karamell mit einigen Holzspänen darin.
Am Gaumen leicht und warm. Ein wenig Karamell, ein paar Früchtchen und ein bisschen Holz werden von alkoholischem Brennen begleitet.
Im Abgang bleibt das Karamell doch etwas länger und etwas Salz bleibt zurück.
Einer leichter Sommerrum ohne grossen Tiefgang, würde einen Hong Thong oder Sang Som bevorzugen. Für einen gelungenen Thai Abend. 6+

Honey yellow with copper reflections in the glass.
In the nose comforting and somehow familiar. Fruits that have been under the tree for days in tropical heat. Caramel with some wood chips in it.
Light and warm on the palate. A little caramel, some fruit and a bit of wood are accompanied by alcoholic burn.
On the finish, the caramel does linger a bit and some salt lingers.
A light summer rum without great depth, would prefer a Hong Thong or Sang Som. For a successful Thai evening. 6+

Had just a sample of this 5 year old Column distilled rum from Thailand. The brand is owned by the Dutch independent bottler Infinity Spirits.
From nose via palate to the rather long finish it’s spicy and woody but I also recognize hints of vanilla and tobacco.
Overall a gentle, smooth and rich rum that really surprised me in a positive way.

This is a pretty solid rum. Caramel, brown sugar and hints of an earthiness.

Part of the 2021 24 days of Rums calendar. Eager to share my experience!

Harsh mouth and throat feel. Pretty sweet throughout, but not to the point of masking the other flavors. Flavors of oak, baking spices, and brown sugar with tobacco on the finish. Overall an interesting yet somewhat forgettable offering.

Nice flavor straight. Sweet with some oak.  Afterburn lowered rating a little, but price point of $25 USD raised it. Mixed well too. 

A bit bitter, but full-bodied, oaky, fruity, very flavorful given its age.

Nice color, good taste, and nice finish, good drinking for night. 7/10
