Quorhum 30th Anniversary Oporto Finish

Nicely smooth and balanced. Taste is very similar to standard QRM 30 only in aftertaste you can recognize porto tones. Only one cons is price :-( 50% higher than standard QRM 30 does not correspond to the difference in taste.

As the name suggests, the base is the classic Quorhum 30 solera from the Oliver & Oliver distillery (Dominican Republic), which has been aged for several months in port wine barrels. The oldest rums in the solera are up to 30 years old. The rum was bottled at 40% strength.

Bottle: Very nice asymmetric bottle, closed with a real cork stopper.
Colour: Amber with a hint of ruby from the port wine.

Nose: Pleasant sweet with traces of vanilla, caramel, wooden barrel and fortified port wine.
Taste: It is sweeter but also woody. There is caramel, red wine and vanilla. The port wine is not so noticeable in the taste.
Finish: Medium to sweet.

This is already a slightly more premium type of rum, where the port wine enhances the already good taste of Quorhum 30. The price difference between these two versions does not correspond to the difference in taste, which is why I am deducting 1 point in the rating.

Rating: 8.5/10

Almost as good as the original 30 solera, with a slight smell and taste of port.
It is sweeter though, and for me that is a minus...

Caramel and cherry aroma. Well balanced taste of body and tail.

Bryder mig ikke om portfinish nok da jeg heller ikke bryder mig om portvin, så holder mig til den originale.

Mot provade denna med opthimus 25-Year Port Finish.
Eftersom båda slutlagrats på portfat är de snarlika men qrm är lite mer fatig, torrare, hårdare men svagare i smakutrycket om ni förstår. Man känner inte porter lika tydligt. Känns som den är mindre söt än opthimus. Nej den var inte lika bra. Mer tydliga smaker i opthimus och den var mycket mjukare, smoother. Qrm 30 years oporto är ändå en god rom, men jag köper hellre Opthimus :)

I think this is on level with the normal 30 YO, and this might be my favorite of the new line, a bit sweeter than the 30 YO after the porto cask, still the lovely scent and taste.

The flavour or port comes in but at the expense of smoothness. Rum feels more harsh on the tongue and makes more difficult to enjoy. I don't recommend. I love the original 30yo solera but this one is not worth the extra cost.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Dominikánská republika
Aroma: Oproti sherry verzi hlubší, temnější projev. Broušená kůže, galanterie, portské, podhoubí, tlející dřevo, med, lesněnky. (90 b)
Chuť: Čekal bych plnější tělo, na jazyku dost tenké. Jinak portské je znát, kořenité, do kůže, decentní dřevo, větrovost, propolis. Krémová dochuť. (86 b)
Body: 88/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnán s kamarádem v rámci degustace sedmi rumů na naší lednové akci.

Cítím příjemně ovocnou vůni s náznaky kávy a vanilky.
Chuť je ovocná a nasládlá. Jde z ní poznat v jakém sudu rum dozrával. V chuti cítím taky náznaky kávy, švestek a dubu. Na konci příjemně hřeje.
