VS Distillers J. Gow Spiced Rum

Plutôt sympa ! Dans l’esprit

A grower For some reason I had a very cheep sweet hazelnut chocolatebar with and it changed to an almost religious experience, this will be added to my collection.

23rd sample of 24 days of rum offers a pot still Scottish spiced rum containing less then 5 g of sugar per litre. 👃 reminds me of a home-made hooch/booze or pálenka (in our country) distilled from various kinds of fruits but with spices included in this one. We can distinguish pear, plum, raisins it is very fruity, aromatic and rich in flavor. 👅 is really sweet, I don't believe the claim that there is less than 5 g of sugar per litre. Taste is definitely better for me. It is slightly spicy, fruity (all mentioned above) sweet but the hints of home made booze is still there :) Long finish. Definitely one of better spiced rums that I had a chance to try and this is coming from someone who is not a big fan of spiced rums.

Salt caramel, whiskey

schöne Gewürze die im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Spiced Rums nicht stechen oder brennen

Spiced … womit? Könnte auch irgendeine andere aromatisierte Spirituose sein

Ein ganz normale spiced Rum. Ich finde diesen sogar ganz okay. Riecht und schmeckt natürlich würzig, Zimt kann man auf jeden Fall rausschmecken. Ist aber nicht so schlimm, dass schon Weihnachtsgefühle aufkommen :)

Viele verschiedene Aromen in diesem Spiced Rum. Nicht unbedingt schlecht. Pur gerne mal, vielleicht was für einen Cocktail um mit den Aromen zu spielen.

24 rum 2022 I smell ginger in the aroma the taste is not very pronounced at the beginning, but later spicy, stays for a long time aroma 3/5 Taste 2,5/5

Zimtbombe, zu überlagernd und stark. Moderate Süße im Mund und auch hier Zimt als dominantes Aroma. Setzt sich im kurzen Abgang fort.

Pretty much what i expect from a spiced rum. kinda cheapish rum made more enjoyable through Spice and sugar. Hast some Ester to it so that you can make it maybe even stnd out for Rum and Coke. Still no big fan. But at least it doesnt claim to be super premium Rum.

Dry, pungent smell like cognac/ginger? Taste, too.

Sehr viel Zimt und Vanille.

Sample no.23 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Very artificial and christmas-y on the nose. Baking spices as cinnamon and gingerbread along with something fruity from cherries. Palate is just woody and alcoholic. Some very faint notes of the spices after a few seconds. As a spiced rum I guess it’s ok but nothing I would buy a bottle of.

Paradoxically, this sample is not easy to evaluate. The smell is Christmasy ordinary, it is like a Christmas market oder where the spices are too much. The artificiality bothers me a bit in the taste, but I can feel the hallmark a bit. Overall, I'm bothered by the low influence of the rum itself, it's more of a sharpened and flavoured vague alcohol.
