Our Rum & Spirits Mauritius Rum 2018
Most tasters land in the "good value for a two-year-old" camp, though a couple find it too hot to sip straight. It's a young cask-strength cane-juice rum from Mauritius aged in a Jamaican barrel: lots of honey, fresh-cut grass, a little smoke, plus tropical fruit, brown sugar and pepper. Wild and unpolished, with real heat that softens once you give it air.
The community says- Honey and grass
- Lots of character
- But: Very alcoholic

Review by Skyfly
Sehr kräftiger Rum, der trotz des geringen Alters im Gaumen eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Aromen bietet. In der Nase noch sehr pflanzlich, etwas zu stark alkoholisch. Im Gaumen primär süß, würzig und tropische Früchte, aber auch etwas salzig, holzig und pflanzlich. Der Abgang gefällt mir fast am besten. Brauner Zucker, Kräuter und Tropische Früchte.
Review by zabo
Im Vergleich zu einigen Abfüllungen aus Mauritius, die uns hier Gunnar schon "aufgedrängt" hat, kann dieser leider nicht mithalten. Für den Preis war nicht viel zu erwarten. Mir insgesamt zu alkoholisch, deshalb wurde der Rest in der Cola versenkt, aber auch dort konnte er nicht überzeugen.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Tolles PLV aus Hildesheim. Die DNA aus Mauritus kommt trotz Jamaika Fass sehr gut zur Geltung. Schön mild trotz des hohen Alkoholgehaltes mit einer leichten Süße. Ein 2-jähriger Rum, leicht wild und ungestüm. Gefällt mit sehr gut.
Review by Leo Krüper
Schöne Sache für den Preis und das Alter. Viel Honig, etwas Gras, etwas Rauch. Und das bei nur 2 Jahren und viel Power. Tolles PLV.
Review by Johannes
Junger Agricole, grasig fruchtig, etwas Holz.
