Review by Montana
Ein leicht süßer, fruchtiger Geruch, etwas nach Kirsche. Auch im Geschmack recht viel Kirsche, etwas pfeffrig und alkoholisch. Der Körper könnte noch etwas mehr an alkoholischem Volumen vertragen, aber insgesamt nicht schlecht.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Der Ruby Port könnte geschmacklich für mich etwas dominanter sein, aber das Jamaica Fass Finish bringt einen schönen Frucht funk mit rein, da die süße nur vom Ruby Port kommt ist es insgesamt dennoch recht trocken. Quasi ein flüssiger Ruby Port Manhattan!
Review by Johannes
Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Man schmeckt viel Column. Insgesamt nicht ganz stimmig.
Review by Werner10
Although it has sugar added i don't find it too sweet. The port finish is not very prominent imo. Still pretty easy to sip and not bad at all for what it costs.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Perola breaks new ground and blends 8-year-old Panama rum with Ruby Reserve Port. Flavors of cherries, plums followed by nuts and hints of caramel. Dry and slightly strained aftertaste unfortunately drags this down a bit for me.
Review by DomM
Bellamy‘s Tawny vs. Ruby. Tawny very heavy on the Port notes on the nose. Not much else. Ruby is much better balanced with some chocolate and roasted notes of the rum coming through - at least I assume this is attributable to the rum used. On the palate: Tawny: this tastes like Port. Only the texture is not quite as thick as a Port. Can’t detect any influence of the rum tbh. Very sweet. Ruby: Much better. Less sweet and wine dominated. Feels a bit thin, but delivers a nice evolution with way more complexity than the Tawny.

Leider nicht mein Fall. Könnte bei Süssrumliebhaber Anklang finden. Sample aus dem RumX Gewinnspiel. Besten Dank an Philipp & Perola!!
Review by Leo Krüper
Aromatisierter Lebkuchen mit etwas Sherry. Ganz nett.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Markanter Port, dabei leider etwas dünn. Ich hatte mehr Süße erwartet und bin in dem Punkt positiv überrascht. Zu alkoholisch im Mund. Assoziationen zu Glühwein oder Rooibostee. Fühlt sich an als wolle er in Richtung Vermouth laufen, aber sich nicht so recht trauen. Da könnte noch mehr gehen.
Review by SaibotZtar
Wer es süß mag ist hier richtig.... etwas rote Früchte kommen durch . Alkohol für das niedrige ABV sehe präsent.

#4440 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Something went wrong here. The cask has taken over and lack of balance. Spicy and fruity with a light herbal touch.
Review by Joël
Sehr süss, ist geschmacklich so schnell wieder weg wie er gekommen ist. Ziemlich flaches Teil.
Review by Filip Lojín
Proč tohle piji? Dostal jsem vzorek, ale je to nuda. Raději předávám manželce, jí to chutná, tváří se spokojeně. Kupujte pro manželky.
Review by HenryL
Nach dem ersten Tasting nicht mein Fall… Die Nase macht noch Hoffnungen, angenehme Frucht gepaart mit süßlichen Gewürzen. Im Mund kommt er mir gerade unter Berücksichtigung der 11,2g Zucker recht alkoholisch vor. Sonst ist er eher flach und einfach nur würzig.
