CDI Leviathan

Almost everyone agrees on the same thing here: the nose is the star, the palate can't keep up. Expect dried fruit, raisin, leather, caramel and coffee that shift in the glass for ages, then a body that turns woody, spicy and noticeably thin. One taster summed it up as nose top, palate flop. A rare 48-year Guyana-leaning blend at 46%.

Gorgeous nose, thin short finish Loved for a complex, ever-changing nose of dried fruit, leather and coffee. The common gripe: at 46% the palate feels thin and the finish runs short. Many wished for more power.

8.2/10

Incredibly exciting nose of fresh fig, black tea, leather, burnt caramel , tree resin, orange peel and rose water, as well as burnt wood and baking spices.Taste then first quite woody and spicy, herbaceous, plus maple syrup and rose peppers, as well as rosehip with black tea, leather belt and velvety after prune and licorice. Properly astringent on the finish, tannins like an old red wine. A really nice interplay of flavors and in my opinion not too thin if you take your time for it.Also despite the age still impressively complex and not too woody!Personally, I find the CDI Cayman but overall more exciting and complex. The Leviathan is more straightforward and quaffable. But both are definitely fun!

On retasting I can see that I would have loved a higher ABV as with the Kaiman. I just got this sample today and it just came at me from the glass while resting it. What a wonderful blend. Perfectly balanced, complex and intense. The long aging is heavy on the flavours and rhe barrel almost gets to a note where it is harsh. Coffee, licorice, fruit, leather, herbs, menthol and the barrel dance in near perfect harmony on cloud 17. I will order a bottle though expensive. A great rum that beats the Kaiman blend, which I like a lot as well. Price to quality is hard to put on this one. In my mind the price matches the quality.

Eine wirklich tolle, intensive Nase. Der alte Guadeloupe gibt den Ton an. Fruchtig-würzig und zugleich holzig-röstig. Vorne weiches Toffee und dahinter gleich säuerliche Süße von Maracuja und getrockneter schwarzer Johannisbeere. Dazu getrocknete Blutorange. Aromatisierter Pfeifentabak und etwas Milchschokolade harmonieren ganz gut mit dem Holz, was durchkommt. Süße von braunem Zucker und Honig. Gefällt mir sehr gut, was ich da rieche. Ja, die 46% haben es erahnen lassen… zwar ist er durchaus elegant am Gaumen, doch leider auch sehr dünn. Total schade! Hier fast keine Frucht mehr, trocken, holzig, würzig. Wird hinten raus zunehmend grasiger. Leicht salzig mit etwas Anis und Fenchelsamen. Das war’s aber auch schon. Im Abgang Holz und Gras und das recht kurz. Nase top, Gaumen Flop!

7.9/10

In view of the rather restrained expectations, which arose due to the rather disappointing overall appearance of the predecessor Cayman, the Leviathan could definitely surprise positively. The nose brings a wonderful overall picture of heavy fruit notes, wood, coffee and spices; these impressions alone would speak for a significantly higher rating. Unfortunately, however, the rum flattens out considerably on the palate. Although the aroma play from the nose remains in its basic features, taste-wise it seems rather thin and tamed. Too bad.

Nose is intensive and very pleasant. Dark chocolatey, woody and coffee notes from Panama in the ring with fruity notes from Guadeloupe. Again, the nose is very nice but more driven into a woody direction with very distinct (and very noticeables) notes of an aged rum from Panama. The Kaiman has the upper hand here for being just more interesting and complex. Fairly complex on the palate again with very present „Panama notes“. As with the Kaiman the ABV feels to low to unlock the rum‘s potential. Especially the finish is rather thin and short.

8.5/10

Probiert als 2cl Sample. Wundervolle Nase nach getrockneten Früchten, Leder, Karamell, Menthol, Kaffee und Orange. Geschmacklich habe ich Cappuccino, dunkle Schokolade/Kakao mit einer angenehmen Bittere. Gefolgt von einer leichten Kräuter- und Fruchtnote (Cranberries/Rosine/Pflaume). Etwas schade ist der recht kurze Abgang, bei dem auch geschmacklich nicht so viel Erstaunliches mehr passiert. Er ist für seine 46% insgesamt erstaunlich intensiv. Bin froh, dass ich den durch die Flaschenteilung mal probieren konnte. Ist echt köstlich, aber ob er seinen Preis Wert ist sollte jeder für sich entscheiden. Ne Flasche im Regal bräuchte ich persönlich nicht unbedingt, für das Geld kann man spannendere bekommen. Edit: mit zunehmender Zeit geschmacklich noch ne Mandel/Marzipan-Note

Ein 2cl Sample ist einfach mal zu wenig um alle Eindrücke heraus zu filtern. Er hat eine wunderbare ausbalancierte Nase, ein perfektes Wechselspiel zwischen Frucht, Kräutern, Holz,Würze und feiner Süße. Am Gaumen zeigt er sich anfangs von der dunklen Seite,Holz,Leder,Würze. Beim einatmen entfalten sich dann die Kräuternoten und Menthol. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Ein wenig mehr Bumms hätte ihm aber gut gestanden. Abgang ist recht kurz. Ich brauch nochmal 5cl zum genießen.😊

Nase: Wundervoll! Süße, Frucht, Kräuter und Würze intensiv und ausgewogen. Mit der Zeit kann ich immer neue Aromen entdecken, das ist so ein Rum am dem ich ewig schnuppern könnte! Gaumen: Schwarzbier und Bierschaum, wow! und Malz, Nachklang: enttäuschend kurz nach der Nase und Gaumen Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht so toll, zumal für einen Blend. Auf der anderen Seite - wo bekommt man noch so alte Rums aus Guyana? Und das Profil ist schon besonders.

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
