The Nectar Albion The Nectar Of The Daily Drams Guyana AW 2012

Great guyana lechce technique cream. And the smell. Beautifully complex

Very close to the PM profile. In my eyes superior to the 2012 SBS.

A new boring tasting session with young pot still single cask Guyanese rums. Kill Devil 12y, 61,1% Barikenn 8y, 63,3% The Nectar 10y, 62,5% SBS 10y, 64,6% C: W wine N: 5min in and this is oily, buttery and salty. Do I also get vanilla ice cream? After a few moments, celery and granny apple peel and brine. For me The Nectar has the best nose, and it all has to do with the fact that I’m a sucker for sweet oiliness in rums. M: Almost elegant taking into consideration that this is a rather young pot still rum. Probably aged in Europa also. Red apples command the taste. It is also smoky and floral. A bit acetonic and with rubber bands. F: Short but sweet. B: Yes. Why boring? Every rum brings something slightly different, but I like them all.

Die Nase erinnert an andere junge PMs mit Holz und einigen kontinentalen Früchten. Beginnt mit intensiven verbrannten Noten. Einige Kräuter mit Anis. Am Gaumen spüre ich eine gewisse Säure, die ich auf den hohen Alkoholgehalt zurückführe. Der Geschmack ist jedoch überraschend süß mit Toffee und Rosinen, die unerwartet auftauchen. Verstehen Sie mich nicht falsch, das ist ein sehr kraftvoller und anspruchsvoller Whisky, der natürlich weit von einer angenehmen Süße entfernt ist... Obwohl dies der erste AW ist, den ich im Glas getrunken habe, bin ich von seinem Profil fasziniert. Ich freue mich darauf, weitere Abfüllungen zu entdecken. Auf Anhieb fühlen sich der SBS und der Nectar ziemlich ähnlich an. Letzterer vielleicht etwas weniger süß mit mehr Schokolade als Toffee. Der Alkohol ist bei beiden Abfüllungen spürbar.

Dies war der letzte der Charge und im Vergleich zum Preisschild denke ich, dass man ziemlich viel bekommt. Schön fruchtig und natürlich süß und ich mag die Nussigkeit im Glas, sobald es leer ist.

I like this one much better. Reminds me of a young PM97. Beautiful fruit notes, anise, caramel. Overall, it could still use a longer maturation. Of course, not to be compared with the tropically matured Albions.

Kommt an andere Albions nicht ran, aber doch ziemlich spannend. Wenn man nicht direkt mit der Erwartung eines Albions ran geht! Apfel, Holz, Kräuter und getrocknete Früchte mit etwas süße. Schon mal was anderes.

The nose is tangy, herbal, and very vegetal. There’s sparse fruitiness from grapes, maybe even leaning to light raisins, but foremost there’s rhubarb (in all its glory!). Earthiness and spices encompass the profile only adding fuel to the aged agricole idea. The wood is somehow subdued and more closely resembles soaked cardboard boxes. Very different experience on the palate. Much more woody than expected and barely any fruits left to be found. We continue with chamomile tea, followed by an olive brine saltiness. It’s still quite sweet, but definitely guided by strong medicinality. There’s isobutanol and lots of metal. This is a challenging rum. The finish is short with more grapes, wood and tea. The metal lingers for quite a bit.

Today the two Albion of S.B.S and the Nectar tasted against each other!On the nose, both are almost identical..on the palate then reveal differences! The Nectar is creamier softer and rounder, although the alcohol is not as well integrated as the SBS. The mixture of fruit. Spice and plantiness I find here clearly more pleasing, also in the finish he convinces me with the better intensity.for me the clear winner!

Verkostet mit dem SBS 2012 Albion mit welchem dieser nicht ganz mithalten kann. Der SBS ist etwas „fetter“, würziger und hat wine schönere Süße. Auch das Mundgefühl ist beim SBS schöner. Dieser hier ist frischer, pfeffriger und trockener.

I originally guessed Jamaica, but now I smell Guyana

A young Guyana, without question. Albion DNA is not discernible for me.Nose: spicy, fruity, an herbal impact and slightly toasty. The first thing I got was apple with fig and floral honey. There are also herbs, some chili and a hint of caraway. The caraway gets even stronger with time. Still seems quite fresh, which is certainly also due to the 62%. Reminds me of a young PM.Palate: dry, bitter and slightly spicy. Spicy-woody-slightly toasty. Again, more of a young PM. Lime zest and green apple are prominent, nutmeg and caraway come behind. Seems metallic, copper with iodine. Overall, it is too edgy and immature for me.

Good Guyana well integrated but too woody and spicy for me.

I've had this bottle for a while now and the profile hasn't changed much over time. I Prefer the nose to the taste. The nose if fruity, buttery, spicy and vegetal. The taste on the other hand is more dry and bitter. Here I get some burnt and musty notes. The alcohol integration could have been better.
