“Messebewertung: Village'23 Trotz seines sehr jungen Alters eine wahrhafte Explosion, das Hampden Finish kommt klar zum Vorschein. Wahr positiv überrascht, nur mit dem Preis bin ich mir noch unsicher, ob dieser dies rechtfertigt. Guter aber noch ein wenig zu ungestüm, aber das DOK Finish kommt klar zum Vorschein”

“The Hampden finish takes away in my eyes something the essence of Ghana, priced in my eyes unfortunately exaggerated with 119€ for 0.5 liters.”

“So, Ghana the 2.te. Oh, what a fruity nose...there is little room for other flavors, maybeinoch sweet candied fruit and something floral...more I do not discover.The palate comes at first quite brute therefore, the alcohol britzelt neat on the tongue and stunned them something...gradually develop sweet fruit notes, but also salty and red pepper!The finish is slightly alcoholic and peppery...some time later develops a sweet plum note...This rum is quite exotic, but unfortunately not mine”

“I liked Nanny very much. Unfortunately, I currently have nothing more of it as a comparison. This rum is again very special with yeast, esters, fruit and a light Hampden finish. Very successful!”

“Remains unfortunately clearly behind the first edition which was a Ghana-HD Blend. Here it is just a finish. I think with a little more age this rum from Ghana could present its fruit notes at less alcohol even better.”

“Young and fresh, quite exciting, but unfortunately still accompanied by quite impetuous alcohol. Could use a counterpole by heavy notes and some taming of the alcohol to soar to higher spheres. Nevertheless, an exciting basic product.”

“it is of course obvious to dig out the Nanny bottle again (had hidden in the back of the cupboard) and compare it with its brother. What I find most interesting about the comparison is that with the Ghana rum in one hand, the Ghana component of the Nanny in the other hand is now also easier to discern. Honestly, though, I also have to say that the Cudjoe is a bit boring on the nose, and that's despite the pimped HD finish (the Ed.17). To put it another way, the Jamaica/Ghana blend on the Nanny is just really good, a constant interplay between fermented/sour and fruity/lovely. Also on the palate I'm more with the Nanny, the Cudjoe comes across a bit scratchy...sure, a Ghana rum there is not every day, but better I find the blend.”

“Restrained smell of sweet and sour fruits.On the palate, thanks to the 67.4% very strong, spicy and mineral with a fruity sweetness, sweeter than the Nanny.The nose is restrained, but I like it better than the Nanny because of the much weaker olive note. Flavor-wise, the Nanny is definitely more exciting and complex, but I personally like the profile from the Cudjoe a bit better undiluted. With a few drops, the Nanny but clearly catches up.With a few drops of water, the nose comes out a little more and gains fresh notes.In the taste now dominate fruity notes.”

“This is clearly an interesting combination. Young Ghanaian with HD finish. And then with neat % and single cask.Nose: intense and fermented-fruity. Through it also with a slight vinegar impact. First thing I find is overripe honeydew melon with green apple and grape. Overall sweetish with honey and syrup but also vegatible with pickled olives and dull geranium. Finely smoky and slightly chocolaty at the back. Different, but good because of it.Palate: oha, the 67% demands properly here. And the HD barrel makes itself felt right away with esters. Dry and astringent at the start, then bitter and salty before green apple, pineapple and finally proper plum come through. Also seems woody-spicy, licorice with slightly charred plastic.Not easy, but interesting”

“The brother of the popular Nanny, quasi the funny great uncle - per se already good conditions, in addition Rum from Ghana again something new, at least individually, at least for me. The proximity to Nanny is also quite present and recognizable. Powerful, even biting esters and an almost brute force on the tongue. At the same time, I also find it difficult to classify it somehow. The first associations go to Jamaica, but somehow it also reminds me of Obstler in the nose, the rum seems very young. On the palate then also notes that make me think distantly of Fiji, at the same time it now seems older than the Nanny. This is exciting, it tastes good. However, the rum also wants to be tamed, an easy sipper is not,, fun it is anyway!”

“In the run-up I heard, you can not compare the Cudjoe with his sister Nanny. Is also a bit absurd with siblings of different sex 😉 But I notice already on the nose at least a common DNA. Overripe, tropical fruit. Especially the nanny can clearly come up with that. Its brother is a bit more restrained. On the palate, the Cudjoe lets its big brother hang out, in other words: somehow more grown-up, more mature, drier. This must be due to the storage and the somewhat higher ABV. Conclusion: As a straight man, I can't get out of my skin: I like the young, impetuous Nanny a bit better than its somewhat more detached brother Cudjoe. But even he will find his lovers.”

“Deutlich geprägt von gelben Früchten, dabei trotz der Jugend und der hohen Alkoholstärke erstaunlich wenig alkoholische Momente aufweisend. Die Nachreifung im Hampden-Fass hat erkennbare Spuren hinterlassen, aber das fruchtige Ergebnis mit seinen leichten Röstnoten kann sich durchaus sehen lassen. Ein ziemliches Brett, das mir in der richtigen Stimmung viel Spaß im Glas bereitet!”
