Cane Island Nicaragua 12-Year

Rom smagt til whiskymessen 2023 i KIF-hallen i Kolding. Ganske udemærket rom.

On the nose I can feel strong charred barrel, cocoa, dried fruits, citrus fruits, spices acompanied by frankincense and furniture polish, the smell is strong, complex and very likable. On the palate, the entry is sweet and fruity, quickly turns into a complex middle, with sweet dried fruits, dark chocolate and bitter spices, turns into strong charred barrel ending, the aftertaste is long, strong, spicy, dark chocolate and grapefruit, with very dry, peppery and almost ashy ending. The rum body albeit rich and strong, is remarkably smooth, the dry spicy kick is only at the end the taste profile, and it is very entertaining. I had a few bottles of Flor de Cana, which did not impress me much, but this one is totally different story, I like it a lot. No sugar added. First had a sample which was so good that I decided to buy a bottle. Really lovely piece, rich in all aspects, nose, taste and aftertaste. The alcohool kick in the aftertaste is not for the fainthearted though - would it be less pronounced it would have been straight 10.

Cinnamon, vanilla, whole bakery is in there. Everything on an oak background.

Rum s plnou chutí dubu, karamelu, ořechů, pomeranče, hřebíčku, tabáku.
Ve vůni lehce estery.
Má trochu krátkou, dřevitou dochuť.
Důstojný, výborný 8,5. Doporučuji!

Lekkere kruidige rum maar niet echt speciaal. Geur van gebrand eiken, spices en banaan. Smaak van licht tropisch fruit, gebrand eiken en kruiden. En lange sterke afdronk met spices en licht rokerig

hutný a přitom jemný, nasládlý, z celé série sedl nejvíc

barva : jantar
vune lehce estery?, kořeněna a sladka
chut: sladkost a ovoce
zaver : za mně jemný s lehkou sladkosti

Very nice. Not so smooth as I like but very tasty. Interesting surprise.

Good rum despite short aftertaste with full taste of oak, caramel, nuts, orange..
