Schönes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase exotisch und verführend. Harze und Tannine mit in Karamell eingelegten Medizinkräuter. Der Geruch von abgebrannten Zuckerrohrfeldern schwebt über Allem.
Am Gaumen noch exotischer und verwirrend. Wie eine Medizin aus dem Dschungel, zuerst bitter dann sauer, dann süss, dann umami. Verrottete Früchte mit Karamellsirup, eine Zigarre mit reichlich Asche und ein scharfes Curry.
Im Abgang geht der exotische Aufmarsch langsam vorbei und zurück bleibt etwas das mich an Cenovis Brotaufstrich erinnert.
Ein sehr spezieller Rum der Raum und Zeit brauch, dem man zuhören muss und die fremde Sprache lernen die er spricht. Für Unerschrockene und Entdecker. 7+

Beautiful amber in the glass.
Exotic and seductive on the nose. Resins and tannins with medicinal herbs steeped in caramel. The smell of burnt sugar cane fields hovers over everything.
Even more exotic and disorienting on the palate. Like a medicine from the jungle, first bitter, then sour, then sweet, then umami. Rotten fruit with caramel syrup, a cigar with plenty of ash and a spicy curry.
In the finish, the exotic parade slowly passes and what remains is something that reminds me of Marmite.
A very special rum that needs space and time, that you have to listen to and learn the foreign language it speaks. For the intrepid and explorers. 7+

Nose - Sweet, fruits, plums, raisins

Taste - Sweet, but not much, just right. Honey, raisins and spice. Little bit spicy. In finish I can taste a hint of anise and smoke. Long warming finish. Little bit stronger but balanced. I like it. Great stuff.

Uninteresting, overly sweet and one dimensional. Just not worth it.

úžasný triple cask - bourbon, teak a třešňové dřevo

Color: Lightish golden hue

Nose: Quite noticeable alcohol overnotes. Reminds me a lot of a whiskey finished in sherry barrels. The sherry finish given to this one really leaves its mark.

Mouth: Flavor and burn are almost entirely separated. Sweet tea with lots of sugar and a bouquet of tropical fruits (papaya in particular). A hint of bourbon sweetness is there too.

Finish: Average finish length that does leave a certain sugary residue feeling.

I was intrigued by the crafting of this rum. It’s a mix of pot still and column still and also a mix of aging in both bourbon barrels and sherry casks. Normally I am a huge fan of sherry cask aging but here it seems that sweet was laid upon sweet a little bit too much. This puts this rum in a bit of a pickle because it’s obviously not intended to be a pure dessert rum but it’s too sweet to be enjoyed for long as a sipper. Hard to recommend wholeheartedly for that reason.

The initial fiery taste dissipates soon, and you are left with sweeteness in your mouth. The aftertaste was quite ok. Based on tasting a 2cl sample.

Smells like caramel and campfire. Tastes a wee bit like scotch but just didnt have a lasting flavour. Its interesting but probably wouldnt buy in future.
