Spirits, cocktails, bar culture








"When I look back at the previous releases in the series, what stands out to me most is that the "Chastity" is the release with the least wood influence. At first, that felt like a break in the red …"


"To classify. The exceptionally long maturation period is remarkable for 'Agricole' rums and gives Sloth an above-average complex cask imprint – without the often feared bitter or dull aging notes. The …"

"The Charity takes on a great legacy, after all it follows the much-noticed “The Sins” series. That alone sets expectations high. Expectations that this bottling effortlessly meets. The Agricole brings …"








"Rhum powerful, but not too brute, rather like a concentrated distillate that combines the essence of sugar cane, spices and wood. The high alcohol content creates a wonderful texture and helps the …"






"Mega nose and also very very good taste. Mango, coconut, roasted notes and spices, leather. The finish is long with fitting and for me not disturbing tannins. But the bitter notes could be too much …"

"Another very good bottling from the Wu Dram Clan, which is sure to find many fans again. I think the rum is very well balanced. The five years in the tropics seem to have given the rum a very good …"

"The 17 years in the barrels have given the rum nice oak notes, which provide a roasted, nutty undertone and pronounced vanilla aromas on the palate. Nothing here is over-woody, and the alcohol …"

"With the Honey Badger's second strike, the bottler remains true to its line and hits the mark aromatically. This time even more so than the Ghana Rum. Everyone has to decide for themselves what they …"


"A great throw from Mount Gay, pulls for me qualitatively equal to the Port Cask Expression, which I also already found fantastic."







"The Maduro is powerfully sweet, but also has an alcoholic punch, so it is not an absolute lightweight. This suits the idea of pairing it with a cigar. After all, you need something that can counter …"


















"An interesting mixture of fresh, dirty and fruity notes. Very intense and dry."
