Braasch Greathouse Rum

Anyone dipping into blended sipping rum without wanting heavy oak will find this an easy fit. It's a multi-country blend that leans fruity — a little Jamaican fruit, gentle wood, a touch of pepper. One taster likened it to an Irish whiskey. Reviews agree the direction is right, but at 40% it comes across thin and watery, and the alcohol isn't always tucked in.

  • Fruity and easy

Light, fruity blend that runs a touch thin Most call it a pleasant, fair-value blend that goes down easy. The recurring gripe: too thin and weak, with a slightly bitter finish — several wish for a cask-strength version.

Skillful blend from several countries. On the nose fruity Jamaica as well as pleasant light wood tones. Reminds me of an Irish whiskey. Taste-wise round and finely balanced. Well integrated alcohol. For me a great sipper with not too heavy wood. Price-taste ratio is good.

So basically this one isn't that bad at all. It's very, very fruity on the nose and on the palate. I generally find that really awesome. I really like this rum.

Unlike the artificial Braasch Vanilla or Braasch Classic, the Great House is the first rum in the range that deserves the name rum. But still weak and fleeting on the nose with poorly integrated alcohol. On the palate a slight spiciness and weak wood. Unfortunately relatively bitter in the aftertaste again.
