Plantation 2001 St. Lucia

Schönes goldenes Bernstein im Glas. Ganz ohne Zusätze.
In der Nase, stark schon fast brutal. Wie auf ein rauchiges Holz aufgeleimte welke Blumen, der Klebstoff riecht noch ganz frisch.
Im Gaumen, keine Kompromisse, deine Zunge wird an ein verbranntes, mit Vanille und Karamell übergossenes Holzbrett genagelt. Herb, grob, ohne Süsse.
Im Abgang, wie in einer alten, verrauchten Bar und alle Aromen schwingen schön lange nach.
Ein sehr schwieriger Rum für Fortgeschrittene, nicht mein Favorit, zu nah am Whisky, sehr komplex.
Nicht für alle Tage aber eine schöne Abwechslung zu all den süssen Plantation Rum.

Beautiful golden amber in the glass. Without additives.
In the nose, strong almost brutally. Like on a smoky wood glued withered flowers, the glue still smells quite fresh.
In the palate, no compromises, your tongue is nailed to a burnt wooden board covered with vanilla and caramel. Herb, coarse, without sweetness.
In the finish, as in an old, smoky bar and all the aromas swing beautifully long after.
A very difficult rum for advanced, not my favorite, too close to the whiskey, very complex.
Not for all days but a nice change to all the sweet plantation rum.

No where near the quality of the 2003. This is much more alcoholic, has the aroma, but not the taste and deepth as the 2003. As long as you can get the 2003 - try it. The best plantation rum made - In my humble opinion,

Loved this one. Not just fruity, sweet and soft like most Plantation rums, but a bit of a smoky, herbal, savoury side to it, which makes it much more interesting imo.

Did not like this one at all. Very oily, tastes fishy to me.

I found it a bit sharp. Had a floral and fruit nose but lacked depth in body.

Un rhum extrêment fruité (exotique)
Rond et gourmand.

Parfait pour ses débuts dans le rhum.
