First: Thank you T❤️m So nachdem ich eine Nacht drüber geschlafen habe mein Fazit. Generell ist der Rum nicht schlecht und ich bin froh dass ich ihn probieren konnte. Leider ist er durch den niedrigen ABV ein wenig schwach auf Brust und wirkt ein wenig dünn/verwässert, was eine bessere Bewertung nicht möglich macht. Aber trotzdem nochmal ein dickes Dankeschön an Tom.
Auto-translated8,3:On the nose, glue, tropical fruits with banana and pineapple, some citrus fruits, grassy, funky, barrel impact with roasted wood notes like marzipan, roasted nuts, spicy vanilla, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is vegetal with briny olive, perfumed, the fruits are fermented, rubber and soap are out, anise and gingerbread. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is slightly alcoholic, sharp, otherwise fruity with overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, citrus fruits, vegetal with briny olive, medicinal with rubber, as the wood is roasted with cream toffee, perhaps crème brûlée, sourdough bread, later milk chocolate, slightly smoky, spicy with vanilla and ginger.On oxidation, the molasses becomes herbaceous, sweet with honeycomb, citrus fruits candied and some metallic patina comes out. 8,2:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, as flowery, herbaceous molasses, sweet with honey, pairs overripe tropical, candied citrus fruits and roasted wood notes, spicy, slightly smoky.
Pretty nice on the nose. Some dirty LP funk with wood and some tropical fruits. I also get a perfum/soapy note in the mix. On the palate this anniversary bottling comes with quite some complexity. Again some funk and fruity notes alongside wood and notes from the cask. Some spiciness akin to candied ginger adds another layer. While I enjoy the composition quite a bit, I have to admit that this isn’t working brilliantly with the low ABV. A lot of intensity and excitement is lost I guess. That’s a shame, yet If you don’t compare it to cask strength LPs, this is still very enjoyable as a lighter blend. Cheers and big thanks to Tok for sourcing the bottle and sharing it in the community 🙌
Erstmal schönen Dank an Tom für das Sample. Tropische Früchte und Klebstoff in der Nase. Am Gaumen kommt zu den tropischen Früchten dann nochbdas Fass hinzu. Außerdem leicht würzig. Nur der ABV dürfte gerne höher sein.
