"Crosstasting 14.05.2023: RX9388: 75/100 RX300: 76/100 RX14156: 87/100 RX7316: 89/100 RX308: 90/100 RX219: 92/100 RumX-Adventskalender 15.12.2023 What is striking about this rum is that you really don't feel any alcohol at all on the nose, but it really packs a punch in the mouth. This rum really has two very, very different sides."

"Absolute board with a hammer UVP! Incredibly beautiful nose of vanilla custard, tropical fruit salad, especially pineapple and honeydew melon, glue and a little cream caramel and lemon zest. The taste is also insanely deliciously sweet and fruity with lemon curd, coffee beans/cappuccino, pineapple chutney, tropical fruit and plenty of glue. This thing is really fun and the alcohol is perfectly integrated! Fuck the "standard" great house series, this is the real shit going on! 🤣🤤🥂🇯🇲💥💣 I would have really liked a bottle for special occasions!"

Top review from lukasdrinkinghabits:
"After a quarter of a bottle it is still a top rum. I'm thrilled. This Duchess is significantly woodier and toastier than its predecessor and much heavier than the RdL bottlings from the Collectors Ed. The cherry and berries only come to the fore behind the glue and burnt spices - more red fruit jelly than fresh fruit. There is also some polish and cardboard. In the mouth, the berries are more present and even riper, like in an old Tempranillo, plus dark chocolate, crumbly tannins, the spices and artichoke and beet? The finish is super relaxed and the alcohol integration, which was previously the weak point of all 10 Canes, is much better in this one! Minimal criticism: Unfortunately, the rum lacks the citrus facet that characterized the other 2008s. Uodate: In crosstasting with the new Trinidad rum club. Could still understand my tasting notes very well. The rum club doesn't want to classify itself so confidently. The Rumclub lacks the sour cherries, the berries, the old Agricole. Instead, it brings the typical TDL peach and mint iced tea. I'm confused and need to do a bigger comparison session."

"Absolutes Brett mit einer Hammer UVP! Tolle Nase aus Karamellbonbons, tropischem Obstsalat, mit vor allem Ananas und Honigmelone und ordentlich Klebstoff und Würze. Geschmacklich würzig intensiv süß nach jungem Holz, viel Gewürzen, Karamell , Ananas und ordentlich Klebstoff. Das Ding macht richtig Spaß und der Alkohol ist absolut perfekt integriert! Insgesamt find ich den batch 2 mit 66,1% aber ein Stück besser! Scheiß auf die "Standard" great house Serie, this is the real shit going on! 🤣🤤🥂🇯🇲💥💣 Hätte ich wirklich gerne ne Flasche für besondere Anlässe von!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"A pretty well rounded Foursquare with nice fruits and lovely spicy touch. Oily palate with a medium finish. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is nice and I can pick up a light marzipan note."

Top review from DomM:
"Vertical PM tasting: 89 / 95 /97 / 97 (cognac finish) / 02 / 05 / 13 Very nice. Predominantly leaning towards darker / woody / roasted notes. The cognac cask is quite noticeable adding grapes and a certain elegance to the rum. Interesting and noticeable different in the best sense."

Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"the nose is gigantic! Sour cherry, red grapes, raspberry, currant, cinnamon and again this typical rose, mango and sandalwood note in the background🌹🥭in the taste then incredibly harmonious, spicy and complex.Cherry, raspberry, red grape, currant, cocoa, milk chocolate, cinnamon fruit bread with candied grapefruit zesten and ginger, slightly salty notes to it and the rose resonates beautifully in the background without dominating and rounds off the whole wonderfully.... Partly but also a little wet cardboard and a lot of wood the longer my sample is open. all in all a terrific Ten Cane. Who likes old Agricoles a la j bally 2000 will come here fully at his expense!quite great cinema!❤️🇹🇹🤘"

Top review from Thunderbird:
"Ester, as far as the nose reaches... in addition fermented pineapple, delicate vanilla and some citrus... there are almost comparisons to the Hampden C<>H on the palate, also here pushes on comparisons... however, swing here clear nuances of marzipan with .... as well as the finish, would be the alcohol better integrated, the rating could be significantly higher!A strong, but not comfortable rum! With rough edges"

"#4461 09.11.2023 This one needs to rest or the ABV will bite you. Once rested it's a really nice Travellers. Fruity with wood and light chocolate. The palate is spicy yet fresh and fruity. Long and warm finish. The empty glass has stronger chocolate notes and some roasted wood."

"#4085 Considering the price tag I think you get a lot for your money. Fruity and pretty well balanced. It needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours and I like the light dryness in the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up licorice and some ginger."

Top review from mto75:
"Obwohl ich nicht der größte Mount Gay Fan bin, muss ich sagen, dass mir der Duchess durchaus gefällt. Ich wüsste auch nicht, ob ich ihn blind überhaupt als Mount Gay erkannt hätte. An der Nase florale Noten, gelbe Früchte, Wassermelone, Karamellpudding. Am Gaumen Tabak, Gewürze. Hinten raus ordentlich Fass / Tannine."

Top review from Rowald Sweet Empire:
"Very closed nose at first. Wood and apples. Taste: more oak wood (American Oak/Pine wood). Bourbon. Pear.. a lot of pear. Some ripe peaches too. A nice sweetness. Dry and bitter. The cask is very dominant, but that's okay. This one needs time in the glass. I like the balance between sweetness, fruits and cask. Some pepper or ginger spiciness. Tasty. Probably one of the better Beenleighs I've had"

"04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. Pretty decent release especially when looking at the price tag at release. Nice and fruity profile with caramel and light smoke. Medium to long finish."
Fiji
Top review from lukasdrinkinghabits:
"Update nach ca. 3 Jahren: Habe den Rum nach dem ersten Review kaum mehr im Glas gehabt. Die ursprüngliche. Bewertung mit 88 Pkt. ist sicher eine meiner krassesten Fehleinschätzungen. Das aromatische Spektrum habe ich richtig beschrieben, aber die Bewertung kanm ich nicht mehr nachvollziehen. Das ist ein ziemlich seichter ColumnStill Rum. Die typischen Fiji-Aromen sind weit im Hintergrund. Nachvorne ist er super soft und gefällig. Heute hat Planteray einige solcher Fijis abgefüllt, zum Zeitpunkt der Abfüllung des Duchess war das Profil noch unbekannt. -8 Punkte Anders als die früheren 2004er Releases wartet dieser Fiji mit 12 Jahren tropischer Reifung auf - wie der Holmes Cays. Wirkt deutlich jünger als der 17yo TRC (positiv gemeint). Im ersten Moment erkennt man nicht, dass es sich um einen Fiji handelt. Die Nase ist sehr zurückhaltend und erinnert eher an jüngere Bajan Rums. Im Mund kommen die Fiji-Aromen langsam dazu, vor allem die pfanzlichen Noten, weniger die Gummi-Seite, dadurch wird er sehr komplex und balanciert. Bisschen wie ein dreckiger Foursquare. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Top!"

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Subsequent tasting of the rum from 21.12. from the 2023 RumX calendar: Somehow I find it difficult to find this rum really good. What bothers me most is this initial unexpected sweetness that covers the herbs like a film. This sweetish film gradually disappears, but I still can't quite warm to this rum. One of the weaker Enmores of the 1990 vintage."

Top review from Tom Buteneers:
"Very fruity with the recognizable Caroni notes present but not overpowering. Very well balanced and easy to drink, the 54,1% hits the perfect spot.. Glad to have a couple cl left after the split on the forum. Happy to give my father a taste of it today."
Belize 15
Top review from Thunderbird:
"Die Belize-Rum sind für mich immer wie eine Wundertüte…man weiß nie genau was man bekommt! In diesem Falle nichts Besonderes. Ist die Nase noch angenehm voller Kokosnuss, Creme Brulee und Vanille, verliert er am Gaumen völlig. Der Alkohol überstrahlt fast alle Aromen…auch nach einer längeren Verweildauer passiert nicht wirklich etwas. Maximal Holz, Piment und etwas zu lang gezogener Schwarztee sind erkennbar, der Abgang ist relativ kurz und genauso unspektakulär"

"11.06.2021 A nice evening with some friends at the beach bringing some nice rums. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, cherry, banana, light marzipan, faint polish, light floral. Palate Light wood, banana, light varnish, medium dry, tannins, medium spicy, orange. Finish Medium to long, wood, orange, light varnish, banana, medium spicy, medium dry."
Mauritius 9
Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Nicht als R(h)um zu erkennen, geschweige denn als ein Destillat von Mauritius. Durchgefallen. Labourdonnais hat eine wunderschön angelegte kleine Destillerie mit allem Drum und Dran, aber richtig guten Rum für gehobene Ansprüche können sie in meinen Augen einfach nicht (aber richtig feine Spiced Rums!!!). Update 2024-04-24: Ein wirklich schwieriger Rum. Die eigentlich ganz interessante Waldmeisternote ist sehr eindimensional und wird zudem durch den scharfen Alkohol wieder zunichte gemacht. Keine Empfehlung."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"25.09.2020 Tasting at a local wine shop that is no more, unfortunately. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Faint wood, varnish, polish, anise, light herbal, plum, faint chocolate. Palate Intense, light wood, varnish, light herbs, anise, light chocolate, light citrus, spice, light grass. Finish Long and warm, polish, anise, light herbs, dried fruit, light ginger. Extra note Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will bite."
