Review by rum_sk
Online tasting with Joshua Singh. Explosion in your mouth. In a positive sense. Best out of the set for me. Full of esters. Very minty flavor, funky taste, long finish. I love it.
Review by Nivius
Who would have thought that the Virgin Oak would be my favorite from this series - at the beginning we even left it closed because we thought it would be boring anyway and before it was even tasted for the first time, it ended up in a MaiTai and it was sensational! But a new oak barrel is great when it comes to vanilla and woody notes, which you often don't have on your radar. On the nose, the first association was even bourbon. Then on the palate, in addition to the estery notes, there are also beautiful vanilla and dark wood tones, which then finish off beautifully mild. This one will probably be the first to be empty.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein sehr leckerer High Ester Rum. Hatte zwar eine kurze Lagerzeit, aber ich mag sowas ja ganz gerne. Hier überwiegt natürlich der Ester, man hat aber auch tropische Früchte in Nase und Gaumen. Preis/Leistung wirklich top.
Review by Johannes
Dieser DOK könnte eine etwas längere Lagerung vertragen. Alkohol nicht top eingebunden.
Review by zabo
Edit: Verkostet mit FischeJ als Absacker, guter Dok zum guten Preis Verkostet bei Serge am Franconian Tasting Gang goes Tiki. Im Endeffekt hat er alles was man sich von einem DOK erwartet. Aber verglichen mit anderen, die ich mittlerweile im Glas hatte, lässt er ein bißchen Federn. Fazit: Ein guter DOK, aber es gibt weit aus bessere.
Review by Serge
Erstaunlich lecker für die kurze Lagerung. Virgin Oak war hier eine gute Wahl.
Review by Jakob
Typical high ester representative, almost somewhat restrained due to the dilution. There is an alcoholic tinge, but thanks to the 57% the overall picture is very solid.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solider DOK. Virgin oak ist hier für so eine kurze Reifezeit eine gute Wahl. Rote Früchte, saure Ananas, etwas Karamell, Vanille und Gebäck und junges Holz. Insgesamt Recht sauer- würzig und ausgewogen für so eine kurze Reifezeit.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Die fehlende Reifezeit merkt man ihm an. Aber nicht ganz so schlimm, wie ich es im Vorfeld erwartet hätte. Kein Highlight, aber ein solider erster Eindruck.
Review by Richard Krupa
smell better than pk, also pepper and heat, nail polish, esters
