Hier kommt im Vergleich dann so langsam der Klebstoff in's Spiel. Medizinischer, chemischer, dreckiger und vor allem reifer in den Fruchtnoten. Deutlich dickflüssiger, schwere Süße, reife Früchte am Gaumen. Hier gefällt's mir langsam richtig gut.

RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! Ein 25 Jahre alter Mony mit dem Mark AHJ. Mit knapp 90 gr/hlpa entspricht dies ungefähr dem Mark MBK und ist ein light Pot. Nase: fein und elegant, aber zu Beginn auch alkoholisch frisch. Vordergründig überwiegen Zitrusfrüchte, allen voran Zitrone, daneben aber auch süß-säuerliche Stachelbeere und Johannisbeere. Duftendes Kirschbaumholz und eine feine Honig-Note kommen hinzu, hinten raus wird er immer süßer und bekommt sogar eine leichte Rauchigkeit. Mit Geduld und Zeit ein feines Zeug. 8,4 Gaumen: intensiv, würzig, mit Anis und leicht speckig, dazu holzig-bitter und salzig zu Beginn, Grapefruit-Schale. Hinten etwas cremiger, aber es verbleiben Zitrusfrüchte und speckiges Holz. Für das hohe Alter recht filigran. Hätte ihn jünger geschätzt, was aber eindeutig dem geringen Ester-Gehalt und dem Light-Profil zuzuschreiben ist. Für mich zu schwach am Gaumen. 7,9

Beeindruckende aromatische Palette voller Früchte, Holz, röstigen Bitteraromen, Schokolade und mineralischem, ins salzige hineinreichendem Geleit - reichhaltige Komplexität. Geht ins fordernde über mit seiner Bitterkeit und den Salznoten, definitiv kein easy sipper - die Komplexität spricht mich an, auch wenn es sich nicht um einen Rum für jeden Abend handelt.

Nach demRumX R&BT Tasting am 7.2. den Rest nochmal mit mehr Ruhe verkostet: Als vierter Rum nochmal ein AHJ. Trotz des höheren ABV wirkt dieser für mich etwas milder und zugänglicher als der Vorgänger. An der Nase Stachelbeer-baiser, Orange, Johannisbeeren und Kirschbaumholz. Am Gaumen süß-würzig.

Tasted during the RumX masterclass. Huge thanks the guys from R&BT for presenting their range! Very nice exploration of some low(we) ester marks. While some of the noses were a little light, the long aged expressions are very interesting on the palate across the board. Very interesting! :) Less fruits than the other AHJ in the line up. Quite salty on the nose and palate.
