Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 34 2011
Most people came in expecting little from a Brazilian and left surprised. The Amburana cask is the whole story here: cinnamon bark everywhere, dry woody spice, tobacco and dark fruit, with a green agricole edge from the cane-and-molasses distillate. At 54.5% it's sharp and drying — a few tasters mention a numbing coumarin tingle on the gums. Loved as a mixer, divisive neat.

How does Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 34 2011 taste?
Aggregated from 54 community reviews.
Cinnamon-heavy Brazilian, Amburana all over it Most rate it highly as a fascinating, cinnamon-heavy oddity — a strong mixer above all. Just know the Amburana wood dominates, and neat it can turn drying and numbing.

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 Jakob
Interesting profile, the Amburana wood also adds a pleasantly independent note here, bringing cinnamon and woody sweetness to the profile. Unfortunately, the rest of the distillate seems a little too restrained, light earthy notes paired with sugar cane and fruit brandy aromas - all in all, however, I find the fullness of the mouth lacking. Although the alcohol is not unpleasantly integrated, it still stands out in terms of taste because the other aromas are simply not expressive enough. What remains is a mature distillate that is undoubtedly pleasant to drink, but is a little too restrained for me personally. .
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 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.

#4699 12.04.2024 Relaxing after a very intense week at work. Nose Round, balanced, wood, spice, fruits, cinnamon, sugarcane, light vegetal. Palate Spicy, medium dry, wood, light roasted, spice, earthy, light salt, light nutts, cinnamon, fruits. Finish Medium to long, wood, cinnamon, light nutts, faint coffee. The empty glass has some faint chocolate, berries and herbs. Price to quality is very good in my mind.
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 Serge
The cinnamon aroma comes through - as expected - very nice. On the nose super horny, on the palate almost something dominating, but still within the framework. In any case, a cocktail grenade ... certainly gives a dreamlike Three Dots and a Dash 🤤Alcohol well integrated.
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 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 Johnny Rumcask
A strange animal: cough syrup, some herbs, artificial sweetness, cough syrup again. Alcohol could be better integrated. Comparatively long finish. The sweetness at the end somehow lingers, which I'm personally not a fan of. But definitely interesting as a sample.
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 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 primus
Zweite Verkostung, das Fass gibt diesem Rum eine ziemlich außergewöhnliche Note. Eigentlich ein leichter Rum, karamellig und holzig, aber durch das Amburanafass kommt eine interessante zimtige Schärfe dazu.
Review by Christian Rudt
Interesting above all because it's somehow different. Lots of cinnamon on the nose. Then nice and fruity on the palate, but also plenty of cigar. Almost a little too much for me. Relatively dry but never boring. Perhaps not outstanding but definitely worth a rum trip. Brazil can do more than just cachaca 👍
Review by Leo Krüper
Netter mix aus agricole und Melasse. Hintenraus leider etwas scharfkantig wie ich es bei anderen Cachaca Single Casks auch erlebt habe. Fasswahl auch interessant, überzeugt mich aber nicht.
Review by R Wehner
Nase logischerweise bissel Alkohol und Fass, evtl auch schon vom Amburana-Einfluss, Zimt, später sogar ein wenig rauchig; Zunge kräftiger Antritt, komplex, leicht süßliche (für mich nicht zu identifizierende) Schärfe, Frucht kommt durch, spannend. Gutes PLV
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!😁
Review by DomM
Nice nose with cinnamon and fruits. On the palate this is surprisingly smokey and somewhat reminded me of Scotch 🙈 The combination of juice and molasses is definitely an interesting touch.

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
