Ron Esclavo Stauning Whisky Cask Finish 12-Year

Nose of whiskey, smoke and vanilla. The taste is smoke with smoke. It is not for me at all.

I love the ordinary XO which I think is a topshelve rum. So I expected a lot from this but I was so disapointed. It is the smoke that dominates all. I taste some of the ordinary XO, but the smoke ruins it all. Perhaps som Whiskylovers can take a step into the Rumworld with this one.

Pěkná barva i láhev. Rum trochu nevyvážený: ostrá příchuť whisky na začátku nakopne, pak přijde jemný sladký závěr švestek a rozinek.
46% - ostřejší pití

barva hnědá
- vůně nasládlá, příjemná, hutnější, ovoce, koření, jemná čokoláda
- chuť více nasládlá, 46% příjemných, švestky, rozinky, dozrávání po nakouřené whisky, které přechází v závěr

I was very excited to try a combination of sweet rum with some peaty finsh.
Unfortunately I'm quite disapointed. Not even because of the strong peatiness. To be honest I even expected more peat. The Main problem of this rum are the sharp alcohol notes and flavours in both nose and taste. Nose: strong alcohol, brown sugar, raisins, some dried fruits, and finally on the end some peat.
Taste: quite sweet with sharp alcohol flavours with a slightly peaty finish.
After some time the strong alcohol flavours disapear and it's getting a bit smoother.
Ok but not much more.
