An exotic one for me, a USA rum. The Balkones were already a positive surprise for me, let's see what this one can do... Nose: full and powerful on the attack. Has a good proportion of bourbon barrels. Also clearly vinegar at the beginning. Fruity and woody-spicy at the same time. The fruit is green plantain with dried apricot. It has quite full, spicy aromas of old Maggi with some vanilla and caramel sweetness. Plus leather and oak. I really like it and it actually has similarities to the Balkones. 8.2 Palate: there is also a clear hint of bourbon here. Bourbon can be heard here too. It has a heavy, slightly oily texture, clearly woody, but accompanied by bacony unami and leather. Nutty-sweet, perhaps tonka bean. Overall, not bad at all, even if it is a little too coarse. It would be really interesting to try this matured for longer... 7.8

7.6/10

Interesting profile after unripe sour pineapple, leather, candied ginger and relatively much wood. Alcohol could be integrated much better.

7.6/10

On the nose with great fruit compote, which unfortunately is largely missing on the palate. Instead, wood, dark spices and roasted aromas come into play, complemented by some vanilla, caramel and a few nuances of tropical fruits. Interesting and promising if the distillery maintains the level.
