Review by Christoph
The nose is a bit startling at first with pungent alcohol, but if you dare you have a bombastic mix of dried fruit in an oak forest and a saucy long finish.
Review by Galli33
It‘s a very good complex and delicious rum with a nice lovely fruity/roasted/woody Profile. Only minus is that tje Alcohol could be intergrated better. If you add some drops of water, it will help a lot. For me one of the best rums of 2021 Nose: fruity, banana, blackberry, overripe fruits, mandarin, apricot, alcoholic, varnish, ginger, spicy, tobacco Mouth: Full bodied, strong, dry, elegant, intense, oak, vanilla, roasted, spicy, dried fruits, dried currants, banana, green apple Finish: medium long, astrigend, dry, delicious, young wood, oak, tannins, burnt sugar #bottlekill
Review by Frank
I had first as a barrel sample on the 10th GRF, then still thought he had 75%. He had pleased me already there!Nose: half an hour in the glass, then he is ready. Full-bodied, intense and round. A whole fruit basket: cherry, blackberry, juicy pear, mealy banana, fresh tangerine. A slightly vinegary red wine tone is there. Plus a heavy sweetness of maple syrup and burnt sugar. Lots of spicy notes behind that too: damp pipe tobacco with vanilla, light mocha with cocoa powder and some milk chocolate. Palate: stronger and fuller attack, much less fruity but spicy. A bit salty-bitter and dry, aromatic cherry wood. Then black currant and pear skin after all. A bit smoky and bacony and out the back again the pear.So far the best Australian for me.
Review by Lukas Jäger
After tasting the barrel sample (then still at 74%) at the 10th GRF in Berlin, I knew that I needed this rum. Surprisingly quickly, it went on sale just four weeks later. The nose is incredibly exciting, with a duel between chocolate and tropical and dark red fruits. Very complex and harmonious. Powerful on the palate, not quite as inviting as the nose, as the alcohol is still very present. Perhaps it needs a little more time in the glass. Nevertheless, very tasty, great variety and very good PLV!
Review by Stuesch
Im Vergleich mit dem RA zeigt sich dieser Rum an der Nase etwas offener. Sonst sind sie kaum zu unterscheiden. Vom Geschmack empfinde ich den RC etwas „leichter“ (hellere Früchte) mit gut eingebundem Alkohol und langem Abgang. Ein top Rum!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a must try for most. This is at the same level as much older rums so you get a band for your buck. From opening very fruity and chocolaty with tobacco which continues slightly different on the palate where it is intense and complex. My advice, buy, buy, buy.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
For me already a classic. And, if I see it right, clearly by most here with the best rated Australian (at all and of the year 2007 anyway). And rightly so! It is simply incredibly balanced, complex and deep. I find the alcohol rather beneficial than disturbing, it rounds off the powerful, earthy overall impression. Happy the one who can still have that in the glass! 😉
Review by Gregor
Für mich der beste Australier den ich je probiert habe.
Review by Christian Rudt
Wäre der Alkohol noch ein wenig besser integriert wäre es ein Fall für >90 Aber auch so präsentiert sich hier Rum aus Australien von der besten Seite. Mit genug Zeit explodieren die Geschmackseindrücke. Von Beeren über Orangennoten, einer deutlichen Tabaknote bis hin zu Röst und Backaromen haben wir hier einiges geboten. Im Finish lässt sich sogar etwas Birne entdecken. Jetzt bräuchte ich schon wieder nen Nachtisch. Den werde ich definitiv noch Mal probieren 😋
Review by cigares
Australian Rums Tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A restrained, balanced nose of luxurious wood, yellow fruit and especially apple, with a delicate floral edge. The palate is silky and floral (rose), with tobacco and, above all, sour apple. It's like being in a cellar where apples age. The finish is long and balanced. Vanilla emerges on the finish. A slight curry in the empty glass. A splendid rum, all finesse and balance. A slight spiciness at the very end disturbs me a little.
Review by Martin Augustin
A great representative from Australia. Full-bodied, strong and decidedly fruity. Chocolate is added to the finish. Definitely worth a trip.
Review by Agricoler
Incredibly balanced and consistently great buried Nlten with a touch of vanilla. Really really good to the 85 points is missing me personally but something. But without a doubt the best Australian I had.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un Beenleigh haut en couleurs et avec de l’énergie à revendre. Le nez est très intense, très fruité (poire, raisin, abricot, agrumes, fruits tropicaux) avec des notes herbacées sur le thé très douces. Les épices (cannelle, gingembre, piment, vanille), le caramel et le sucre brûlé offre beaucoup de rondeur, tandis que le tabac, le cuir, le boisé rôti et le vernis donnent du caractère. Un rhum au profil bien trempé. On retrouve un rhum avec une très belle bouche qui se veut harmonieuse, fruitée (fruit de la passion, baies), épicée (cannelle, piment, poivre) et fumée. Le profil est peu moins frais que le nez mais conserve la gourmandise et la maîtrise des arômes (notamment pour le vernis, le tabac, le boisé et les épices). L’alcool est palpable avec la chaleur mais reste bien intégré dans ce profil complet et savoureux. La finale est longue, tannique et astringente, mais conserve un côté fruité et épicé très aromatique (poire, pomme, raisin, abricot). Le cuir, le café, le tabac et le boisé alimente le côté pêchu, tandis que le thé adoucit la finale et le sucre brûlé arrondit les angles, formant un rhum complet, intense mais opulent. Une excellente mise en bouteille d’un rhum australien, un véritable porte-étendard de son terroir.
Review by Jakob
Is in direct comparison with the TRC clearly ahead - spicy, intense, overall simply rounder. Although not a complexity miracle, but simply a pleasure to drink. Great rum!
Review by Tim
Wie ein Agricole XO an der Nase mit viel Frucht, Leder, Tabak, Schokolade und Zucker. Die Schärfe im Mund trifft hart, dazu nur herbe Noten, Gewürze, Schokolade und etwas Frucht. Im Abgang gibt es dann noch ein kleine Kehrtwände, bei der süße und bittere Fruchtbeeren hängen bleiben, begleitet von Holz, Gewürz und Schokolade. Um das Mundgefühl zu lindern, sollte etwas Wasser hinzugefügt werden. Runder Rum!
