Review by mto75
After the Renaissance from the White Alligator barrel was already a real positive surprise, today again followed up with two interesting bottlings, one stored in the Bas-Armagnac barrel, the other in the noble red (Botrytis grapes sweet wine) barrel, again with super long fermentation, so that it comes on the nose again to a real aroma fireworks. Interestingly, however, both are quite different from the aroma profile. In the Armagnac Cask I have more grapes, the noble red goes more in the direction of yogurt and it also somehow still has something between storage room and cheese plate, which I like but quite 😅 On the palate both with tobacco, vanilla. Here, too, the noble red scores a little more. Conclusion: again two extreme bottlings that are really fun. Makes you want to try more!

Had never tried a Renaissance from Taiwan and wanted to, and I didn't regret giving a go to this Noble Rot Ageing, in the nose of which I've not been surprised to find sugar notes. Nose is also fruity, with woody, chocolate and butter scents. More discretes, along with these I feel butter caramel, vanilla and some orange tones. Palate is also fruity with butter, chocolate, butter caramel and very light vanilla. I find it as delicious as the nose. Finish is long, with dry grape, wood, butter, butter caramel and very light vanilla and coffee notes. A very good rum !

Nose: Fermented strawberries, strawberry yogurt, vanilla, oak, caramel, grapes. Palate: The grape note with its acidity highlights the strawberry yogurt flavor very nicely here, and harmonizes very well with this main flavor. Very little sulfur comes on the palate, barely perceptible. The alcohol is noticeable but still balanced for me. Banana I no longer have here, but burnt caramel. Very tasty rum and not as artificial-chemical as Grand Arome from Savanna. Unfortunately, an extremely short finish. Let's see what the future brings, the substance of Renaissance Distille has enormous potential.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very exciting bottling from Taiwan! For just 4 years of maturation, an impressive amount has already happened here. Milk chocolate, cinnamon, dates, ripe bananas, raisins and orange peel together with butterscotch and cream toffee, as well as peanut butter. Alcohol very well integrated! Could pass blind as a mix of Barbados, mhoba and Agricole!!!
Review by Johannes
Is this a wine barrel finish? The fruity sweetness of the base is still readily apparent. The rum seems much older with nice wood/yeast/agricole notes. Very good combination!

Zlatý adventní kalendář RFC 2024 Nová, pro mne rumově neznámá destinace - tchaj-wan. Ve vůni tóny ovoce a koření. Zajímavý je tam nádech velmi specifického sudu. Chut je zajímavá naopak velmi, koření s nečím, co nedokážu uplně zařadit.
Review by Djehey
Very buttery and fat on the nose and palate, very pastry-like, you can almost smell a croissant. The texture is also very fatty. Aromas of cooked wine follow throughout the tasting, with a large portion of fatty nuts. Very long on the palate. The alcohol, 64°, could almost go unnoticed! It reminds me of a Ten Cane, but very fatty. For a 4-year-old, I find it remarkable! However, I can't find the right balance in the aromas. Finally, the price seems inappropriate...
Review by Martin Ekrt
Moc fajn ovocná vůně. Originální, vínová a lehce cukrovinková. Chuť dost sladká, ovocná, svíravá, ale celkově vzato se mi líbí. Hřejivý závěr, dobrý poměr tříslovin, sušeného ovoce, směsi červených plodů a vína.
Review by BnBrt
Rhum assez concentré, il faudra que je fasse une seconde dégustation en le laissant s'ouvrir d'avantages. Au nez, c'est assez lourd, j'ai quelques notes de chocolat. En bouche je le trouve agressif avec le peps de la "jeunesse" mais avec de la texture. J'ai l'image du pims à l'orange qui me vient directement. La finale est un peu courte. 8.2 2e dégustation: nez toujours très concentré. Pâte de fruit en fin de bouche. Rechauffe à la manière d'une eau de vie. 8.3 deuxième dégustation
Review by Rado Vito
You can say noble rot, I say, it smells like fresh dog shit with fruits and spicy. I didn’t want to even try it. Fortunately the taste is better. Chocolate with fruits. Aftertaste is fruity and dry.
