Takamaka St Andre 8-Year

Sweet, soft and easy summarizes this rum. A lovely rum!

Tried this as part of the Rum Ratings tasting kit.

Dry flavor. Smells and tastes of oak, grass, and maybe cinnamon spice. A rather ordinary rum for the price to me.

Maybe it's my early career in rum tasting that is the problem here, but this I only found OK. I did not enjoy the taste, even though the obvious burned sugar and caramel comes through. Taste is decent, but underwhelming and ethanoly.

We managed to find this in a tiny corner stone near the south of the main island. The producer confirmed that they do not prepare this type of rum anymore. It’s a lot more characteristic than the other variants.

Minimal everything on this one. Nose is muted and the taste is more alcohol than flavor, even at 40% ABV.

Overall an easy rum. Aroma gives away the light and somewhat faint tastes. Finishes short and light. Little oak, little sugar, over all dry.

Decent rum. The nose has some grassiness notes with some oakiness. The taste is dry with similar notes and vanilla. Minimal burn on the finish. Overall pretty solid. I wouldn’t hesitate too much to drink this neat on a weekend night with a good cigar.

I am not a big fan of the lighter rums. This one was OK. Not a lot of flavor but the flavor that did exist was alright. Sweetness was pretty balanced.

Not my favourite. Bland taste, alcohol, some citrus.

Den luktade mer än den smakade, inget speciellt med den.
kommer nog inte köpa den igen.
