The Scarlet Ibis Gold

This is a lovely well-rounded rum; somewhat dry and perfectly spicy. this is really smooth for a 3-5yo spirit. At 49% you would expect it to be hotter than it tastes too.

This goes on the short list. VERY WELL DONE!!!!!

Sugar test-0g

This is an outstanding dry estery rum that has a lot of clove flavor to it. tastes like a spiced rum but it not. Adds a very unique aspect to mixed drinks, especially when used as the jamaican component in a Mai Tai.

This rum is better than I expected based on the price. It's a little dryer than most, but still has some sugar, honey, and vanilla to it. The spice is very interesting; it's kind of unique (maybe allspice?) but quite good. Also has oak and pie crust.

A little stronger at 49%abv, but still very drinkable straight.

This rum may not be the most beautiful of rums, but it is - hands down - one of the best rums that i have tried.

The taste is sharp but at the same time delicate and savory.

If you prefer a rum that is not to heavy on fruit taste, you should try this.

fair rum. 49% ABV and initially sems quite Caroni like.

However despite its young age an ice cube opens up the flavour held within the spirit. A very nice and different style of rum.

A decent rum, that never really stood out for me. As my bottle is winding down, after having used it in cocktails for the past year or so - I find myself not having much to say about this rum one way or another. It's not bad - but it's not special.

Nose is bland and vanilla… palate full at the beginning but with an end of spearmint.

The Scarlet Ibis from @hausalpenz is a blend of 3 and 5 year old Rum and is named after the National Bird of Trinidad.

49% ABV.

Appearance: 4/5 Golden Color
Taste: 3.5/5

Nose: Vanilla, caramel
Palate: Vanilla, wood flavor, honey

Overall: 3.5/5 - We enjoyed this rum however, with the 49 ABV we expected a little more. We will say this though, the price came in at 29.99 and for that this is a really good rum to use in a cocktail. Especially a Mai Tai.

Tasted 10/17/21 at Laka Lono.
Rum 2 of 4 that day.
Tasting notes indicate: Sweet!!! YUM!!!! This is a VERY delicious rum that does not taste like a bird. It is kinda warm.
8/10
Edit: Also tasted June 27, 2021 at Laka Lono. This time I gave it 5/5 so I am changing my rating to 9/10
Aromatic.
Flavors of fruit, vanilla, almond and ginger. So good!

Very young. Smooth with a subtle bite that is really enjoyable. No depth. No complexity. Light finish. This is indeed a good young rum. I just don’t like young rum. Not do I understand it fully. “Leave this in the damn barrel”. It is good enough to produce a real beauty in a few years!
