Review by Carlitooo
Für mich bisher die Überraschung bisher aus 2023! Bei Brasilien hab ich wenig gutes probiert, aber der Rum ist vom PLV unschlagbar. Tolle Komplexität, Frucht, Holz, leichte Zimt Anklänge. Starkes Ding!
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Wow was für ein leckerer Rum. Hätte echt nicht soviel erwartet. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und man riecht direkt den Zimt heraus der auch im Abgang dominiert. Hier kann ich eine klare Empfehlung geben.
Review by Boletus
Definitiv anders als alles, was ich bisher probiert habe. Eine solch komplexe Mischung aus Gewürzen, aromatischen Holznoten und Früchten ist mir bisher noch nicht ins Glas gekommen. Einzig die mit jedem Schlückchen zunehmende Zahnfleischbetäubung bremst den Spaß auf Dauer ein wenig ein. Dennoch eine echte Empfehlung für aufgeschlossene Genießer.
Review by Frank
Really stunning Barazil rums I had now not yet in the glass. Here I find especially the 6-year maturation in Amburana barrel interesting... Nose: powerful and intense. Initially, the alcohol does cut a bit. I immediately notice a pleasant, full tobacco note, old pipe tobacco. Also very woody, but not bitter, rather dry, fragrant cedar. In fruit I find dried apricot, red apple, blackberry and some black currant. Some vanilla and red pepper round out the lovely nose. Reminds me a bit of the New Grove Acacia. 8,3 Palate: the nose continues on the palate. For me, cigar tobacco predominates. Also salty-bitter-woody with dried apricot, blackberry and black currant. Some red pepper and old cinnamon powder add spice. It is powerful and has nice volume. 8,1 I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. I like these strong scented wood flavors from slightly different wood barrels than usual. The intense tobacco note with the subtle fruit is a nice blend. Good Brazilian!
Review by Nivius
Kind of cool ! Reminds me strongly of a well-aged Martinique Agricole and at the same time has that cachaca note. It's a hell of a rum for mixing - unfortunately, the strong coumarin content has a negative effect when drunk neat, as it numbs the mouth, but at the same time brings some really great aromas to the rhum (coumarin is one of the main aromatic substances in woodruff, cinnamon and tonka bean - which can be tasted wonderfully here). In crosstasting with a few cachacas, I really tasted turpentine, which I had to add here - really exciting! I think it's a great experiment and a nice rhum to mix at a really good PLV. As a mixer it gets >90 points from me, as a drink the first number in my head was 75, but I can well imagine that it will be rated in the range of the Rumclub Depaz by Agricole lovers, if the exotic coumarin aroma of the Amburana wood, with the narcotic effect, doesn't pull it down too much.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Certainly a very special rum with many flavors that I did not know or are not common. Therefore a great complexity. But also a certain austerity and alcoholic note. Cask influence very blatant. Doesn't get me 100%. Lots of pepper on the palate. Definitely exciting. Edit: second tasting outdoor 30 degrees 15min in the glass: the nose is super cool as it becomes floral. Like a perfume. Alcohol also gone on the palate. Still spicy. Great complexity. Maybe I'll get another bottle after all.
Review by Michael Schillheim
For me, the first Brazilian, which I try pure. Accordingly, I went into the tasting without expectation and was pleasantly surprised. Initially still an alcoholic spiciness in the nose, surprise me pretty quickly notes of cinnamon, tobacco and unripe currants. The spicy, herbal and fruity notes are accompanied by a woody note. On the palate, the already familiar notes from the nose predominate. Unfortunately, starting at the tip of the tongue, an unpleasant spiciness spreads across the tongue. The medium-long finish ends in tobacco flavors as well as a slightly woody component. An exceedingly interesting debut that I enjoyed very much. Probably 0.1 or 0.2 points more would have been possible, had it not been for the disturbing sharpness.
Review by Johannes
Very special, but also really excellent! Notes of coconut, cinnamon and Armagnac.
Review by Werni
The nose seems somehow familiar to me, but I can't put my finger on it. Great balance between cinnamon, red and citrus fruits and noble cask, top. The first sip was already intense, very sharp-edged, astringent, lots of barrel surrounded by fruit and cinnamon. Reminiscent of Agricole, the alcohol could be better integrated. An interesting experiment.
Review by Vidaa Wz
Intéressant! Au nez une alternance entre des notes de tabacs et des notes végétales c’est assez bien fait. On ressent le bois malgré l’élevage relativement court. En bouche on a premièrement une gourmandises intenses caramel cannelle puis un côté agricole pimenté voir poivré fait son apparition, c’est assez perturbant. La finale me laisse dubitative trop poivrée selon moi. Belle bouteille qui a su dompté l’hybride agricole mélasse. La finale aurai pu être plus gourmande à mon sens, Bon rapport qualité prix
Review by Thunderbird
An exciting rum, with intense flavors! Somehow from two different worlds, on the one hand Agricole, on the other hand more towards molasses. The interplay between fruit, plant aromas and spices provides an experience on the tongue. The longer it lingers and especially in the finish, the Agricole note comes out. I like quite well
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Strong cinnamon note, burns a little in the finish. Absolutely strong.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unfassbar viel Zimtrinde, scharf, trocken und schwer durch die amburana reifung. Geiles Zeug für einen single cask cachaca! Definitiv ein Rum der unterm Radar schwebt. Generell sollte cachaca mehr Aufmerksamkeit in RumX bekommen!😁

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"Quite nicely done. It is only a shame that the amburana finish is so strong. While not being a bad flavor in it self, it does cover the rum heavily. I really would have loved to discover that one separately as well. Still quite the pleasent drink"
