Bristol Classic Reserve of Mauritius 5-Year

This is the sample from Day 3 of my Advent Rum calendar. This rum is definitely different from most rums I have tried end as opposed to reviews I have read and is not as bad as many make it sound to be. Not one of my favorite but different as an Agricole Rhum as one would expect.

A little bit smoky, dry plum but burning and not tasty at all. Very dry. It is a bad rum.

Edit: After a year... The same bottle; maybe not as burning as I experienced a year ago but still there is something odd even if considering it as an agricole / HOGO rum. I up it by one notch but no go again.

It has a lovely fruity flavour, and is easygoin. Nothing wrong with this one.

I had a quick taste of it, but did not enjoy the experience. A very pronounced taste of herbs, which somewhat reminded me more the tastes of liquors from eastern Europe than that of a rum. Not surprised to read bad reviews here.

One more not at all my taste...............................

Deel van een advent kalender, 20ml. Lijkt wel whisky, maar niet slecht.

I only liked the dry ending, rest is not for me. It's like a whyski with some elements of gin but not refreshing.

Smell not rum.
Taste to %.
Aftertaste not ok.

Tried the La Bourdonnais distilled Mauritius 5y Rhum and the bottle plus the label are very basic nondescript ones. Color is very light amber. Smell test reveals a bouquet of flowers. Taste test reveals a strong smokiness which is very unique to Rhum Agricole's. Not bad, but not great either.
