People really can't agree on this South African advent-calendar pour. Some taste ripe banana, dried raisin and a soft port-cask spice and find it pleasant; others get a grainy, whisky-blend character and call it thin or "a bit superficial." Expect banana, dried fruit and a light woody-spicy edge at 46%, with a short finish that fades fast.
The community says- Ripe banana note
- But: Short finish
- But: Whisky-blend feel

How does Whistler Master Solera (24 Days Of Rum Advent Calendar) taste?
Summarized by AI from 94 community reviews.
Divisive banana-and-raisin advent pour Genuinely divisive. Fans like the banana, dried fruit and port-cask spice; skeptics find it whisky-blend-like, thin and short-finished. Most land around average, not memorable.

"Good discovery In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Raisins, Banana On the palate: Sweet, Tropical fruit Finish: Spicy, Banana". I think South Africa is really going to bring us great things
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Time to finish up 1423's "24 days of Christmas" (the blue edition). The rum from day 21 is from Africa. It has a malty whisky-like nose to me. In the notes I'm getting interesting hints of wine, fruits and a rather long malty finish
Review by benoit burger
Spicy, fruity nose of banana, prune and raisin. On the palate, it is slightly woody, spicy (especially the liquorice stick) and honeyed. The length is very short. A rum that does not showcase South Africa.
Review by Timo Groeger
For me, again clearly better than what the community thinks. Tastes slightly fruity and woody to me, but very tasty. Also has more like the standardized 40% :) e A normal rum, suitable for beginners.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Secret South African distillery. Only one I know is Mhoba (goood!!!). This is not Mhoba. Smells like a whisky blend. A tad grainy. Sweets. A bit superficial. Not a big fan. Taste: blended whisky still. Dry/tannins. Wood. A bit smoky. Cheap. It taste cheap. Not too bad though but unbalanced. Not a fan.
Review by Rumpalumpa
What an interesting rum: from a former English colony, but reminiscent of Agricole notes and then still matured in the Solera process? well, the result is not bad but not overwhelming either. slightly fruity, herbal and clear molasses
Review by Emanuel S
This rum is weird. It smells/taste like a scotch whisky of low quality. To me, it does not know what it is. And does non of the spirits justice. I would spend my money elsewhere.
Review by rum_sk
It is similar to Jamaican rums only like it's diluted mild version. It reminds me of a Jamaican funky rum by 60%. It holds the funkiness that is characterstical of Jamaican rum, with spiciness, burnt sugar and sort of a freshness. Medium long finish. Definitely one of the more interesting rums in 2022 advent calendar. Retasting the sample from 2024 calendar by 1423 and 👃 is not very pleasant I am catching some wine aromas and wood and hint of agricole. 👅 is better, similar to jamaican rums as previously stated. A bit sharp and spicy with hint of vanilla in the finish.
Review by Martin Ekrt
On one hand, quite an interesting piece. Very fruity, leaning towards citrus, distinctive, but on the other hand, it also feels a bit cheap and alcoholic with a hint of something artificial. Few rums leave me this conflicted. Tastes good, tastes bad, really don't know 😃
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
24 Days of Rum, Blue Edition, Day 21 Very rich, fruity-spicy bouquet resulting from the second maturation in port wine barrels. By the way, this also gives the slightly reddish tint. I like this combination well, after all I like both: port and rum. However, the initial rich impression on the nose fades quickly and after about 10 minutes mainly the port and its yeast remain in the glass. On the palate, the port again provides the soft, spicy impression that continues in the finish.
Review by Robert Houba
Sharper, solera, alcoholic scents.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.24 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Dried raisins and sweet on the nose, some alcoholic sting to it but at 46% abv that is expected. Palate has same notes of dried fruit with ripe banana in the end. The fermented/funky I’m guessing comes from it beeing pot stilled and the flavours get more intense. Woody and banana after the sip.
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
This rum seemed more interesting to me in the nose than in the taste. In the nose, fruity notes of banana and citrus dominate and promise sweetness. In the taste, there is something playful and tropical fruit is confirmed. At the same time, it would suit a slightly higher proof. Overall, it seems quite gentle to me.
Review by Michael Janek
24 rums 2022 very pronounced aroma, sweet fruit, banana, pineapple, apple taste fruity, first gentle, then quite sharp, I feel something like apple seeds aroma 4/5 taste 3.5/5

Almost like an agricole, harsh
Review by MJ72
Fruity aroma, pear in the foreground with spicy notes. Mild and creamy, dark caramel with the fruit from the smell. Wood comes in the finish.
Review by Thibaud Valentin
Note "spicy"
Review by Fayaman971
C’est un bon rhum vieux avec un bon goût de banane ! Il est pas trop fort ni trop doux . Moi je le bois sec mais à tester avec des glaçons ou en cocktail pour voir s’il se marie bien avec . Finale courte mais agréable. Un rhum à tester quoi qu’il en est . Je ne connaissais pas du tout cette marque donc je remercie l’édition 2024 pour ça .
Review by Rado Vito
Nice sweet and fine rum from different finish casks. Very nice blend with tastes of port, spice and honey. Easily drinkable.

Review by Motvind
Banan, torkad frukt, trä och tanniner. Smaker av kryddor, trä, alkohol innan sötman tar över i en medellång avslutning.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
What a pity. A sweetened soulless, uninteresting and in the end simply not good rum. I really would have wished for more than nuances of sugar and something, this calendar had a lot of non rums, meaning they only exist for the calender. In this case, good
