Rivers Royal Granadian White 69

We - Heli, Heinz and Erich were there in the Distillery, they have rum with 80% and 76% - toooo strong, if you drink to much, you get a donkey kick :-) but very interesting to see!

Aroma is, frankly, just weird. Fruit, vegetal, fishy, and a pure alcohol warmth. Taste is more conventional though still huge esters. Banana, bubblegum, peppery, warming alcohol, plantain, finish is pepper all the way

3/10 for aroma, 7 or 8 for flavour

Fantastic rum. Tons of flavor including salt water, olives, grilled pineapple, and other tropical fruits. It also smells of nail polish remover in the best way imaginable; it is super funky. This has the best nose of any rum I have ever had. A cabinet staple for me.

It is certainly warm at 69% ABV, but still approachable. Swims great and makes an amazing cocktail (e.g., Daiquiri). This is an incredible distillate; they are doing something special down in Grenada.

This costs around $70-$80 in New York and I think it is a bargain. A wonderful product and, in my opinion, a perfect spirit. 11 out of 10.

I would compare this to W&N overproof, but this is on steroids and has a touch of agricole flavor in there. Super ripe bananas and pineapple, rotten banana trees, glue, sharpie, dusty old classroom with a chalkboard, and brine. Considering where this rum comes from and how it’s made, it’s extremely well done. A lot of rum producers wish they could get flavors like these. I am very impressed with this rum.

Spray intense and delicious cane rum. Tastes almost like a super high abv Agricole blended with some Jamaican

Bottle purchased at Alamo City Liquor in San Antonio. Pours clear. Boisterous aroma of rising dough. For such a strong abv, this is easily drinkable neat. Not for everyone, but it is certainly for me.

Very flavorful. And hot
Smell is first, like agricole. Also funk
Then taste is sweet ish
It’s sippable but slightly difficult, due to 69%

Visited this distillery a number of years ago. Rum made how rum was made centuries ago. If you’ve ever wondered why pirates are so bad tempered it’s because they drank a lot of rum like this !

I tried this in so many ways and in the end I found it is amazing as a 1-2oz addition to 4L of rum punch I make. Otherwise it’s just too “burnt pot still” for sipping, mixing or Tiki drinks.

Al naso solvente, esteri, funky, torbato, formaggio stagionato, frutta tropicale fermentata, tartufo bianco. Al palato un'esplosione, caldo, avvolgente, corposo, oleoso e deciso, con note funky, esteri, vegetali, di frutta fermentata e lievemente torbato con tartufo bianco. Finale medio-lungo con note di formaggio stagionato, olio ed esteri. Nel bicchiere vuoto restano ancora formaggi stagionati, porchetta e salsa bbq. Una vera sorpresa, unico nel suo genere, una gemma grezza, ma viva, identitaria e dinamica. Tra i bianchi migliori

Wanted to try this for a while, and was lucky to be given a sample. Really smooth considering the strength. Easy drinking neat. Mineral tones and mild pot still funky tones.
I imagine it would be wasted in a cocktail. Not enough of a flavour punch. It would make a satisfying now and again sipper, and at half the price, I'd be in there.
