Rum Shark A.F.D. Dominicana 2011 Single Vintage

Best sipped neat with time to breathe — several tasters say the 61% needs ten minutes in the glass before it settles. Expect dark chocolate, vanilla, wood and walnut, with a brown-sugar sweetness underneath. Reviews land it as a decent but middling column-still sipper: pleasant chocolate-and-nut character, though a few found the alcohol not fully tucked in and the palate a touch flat.

The community says
  • Dark chocolate
  • Walnut and vanilla

Chocolate-and-walnut sipper, hot until it rests Chocolate-forward, nutty and mildly sweet, but the cask strength runs hot for some and one reviewer found it a bit flat. Give it air and it improves.

Last one for today and after the citrus fruit part from earlier, I even like sweet rum :-) Definitely chocolate and caramel, but also wood and spices. It could be worse, this sweet rum is really quite okay..

Alcohol not well integrated. Flavor-wise somewhat flat, slightly fruity, some nut.
