RumX Rarities jour 9. Un nez lourd et herbacé, boisé, angélique, dattes sèches et cerise amarena. L’alcool est très bien intégré, le chêne est très présent mais sans lourdeur. Cerise amarena et plantes amères. Très longue finale, toujours avec les mêmes saveurs. Le verre vide exhale des parfums lourds et chaleureux. Un très beau rhum très cohérent dans les arômes. J’avais parié sur un Damoiseau 1980. Regoûté et il perd quelques points face à de très beaux grand arômes plus modernes.
Review by Mirco
Tasted an old St. Gilles, which is very similar to this one, especially on the nose. However, this one is much denser with more character but above all complexity. I like it very much.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Grand Arôme de Martinique rum from a bygone age, distinguished by its fine aromas. The nose is elegant and old-fashioned, evoking rancio, aromatic herbs, old leather, spices, cocoa wood and red, dried and exotic fruits. You can tell that time has taken its toll. On the palate, the rum is elegant, refined and delicate, but with a certain liveliness that suits it perfectly. A balance between finesse and power is achieved, with dried fruit (prune), herbaceous and floral notes contrasting with old leather, spices and honeyed notes of nougat, marshmallow and caramel. The alchemy between the flavors is very good. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long and dry, returning to more bitter notes, rancio and herbal aromas. Spice and woodiness line the palate with cocoa, dried fruit, caramel and nougat. A particularly well-preserved and aromatic piece of history, to be savored at its best.
Review by mto75
the #9 from the Rarities calendar. On the nose there are red fruits with a slightly sour touch, plus beet or earthy notes, herbal candy and old barrel...on the palate tobacco, nutmeg, herbs and somehow surprisingly sweet. A wacky piece that I really enjoy!
Review by Jakob
Very tasty overall profile. Dense aromas of dark fruits, wood, spices, fresh aromas - great complexity. Outstanding quality.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
15.06.1990 Café Baxx, Kolding which is no more. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, light roasted, clove, dried fruit, floral, light cherry. Palate Intense, balanced, complex, wood, light roasted, light herbs, spice, dried fruit, light cherry. Finish Long and warm, wood, light roasted, cherry, vegetal, light herbs. 4.5 start of 5.0 which should amount to 9.0 in today's rating. Extra note. Extremely good rum at a pretty good sipper price, I paid 35 DKK for 2 cl.

Blind verkostet im Rahmen der RumX Rarities Experience und ich kann es nirgendwo einordnen. Das Einzige was ich sagen kann ist, dass er mir schmeckt. Fruchtig und süß in der Nase, würzig und süß am Gaumen.

L’ovni ! Je n’ai jamais goûté ça, merci pour ce rumx rarities #9, et l’opportunité de goûter un rhum d’un autre temps. Difficile à décrire, c’est fort, intense, mais fin et complexe. Incroyable découverte, j’adore.
Review by Serge
Schöner Rum, lecker. französisch, geht aber schon deutlich in die Melasse Richtung.

Im Nachhinein nochmal nach oben korrigiert. Wieder mal ein wahres Schätzchen aus Jakobs seiner wohl nie endenden Schatzkiste. Danke dafür.
Review by Buddudharma
Rum Rarities #9: Erinnert wie andernorts beschrieben merklich an die 1998er Damoiseaus, insbesondere den RA, mit dem er sich eine etwas säuerliche, zitrusartige Note teilt. Ansonsten schmeckt der Rum würzig auf eine eher unspezifische Art, der Abgang ist eher kurz. Ein tolles Exemplar aus dem Nostalgie- und Kuriositätenkabinett, aus meiner Sicht aber deutlich von einem Spitzenrum entfernt.
Review by Mentalo
Herrliche Nase. Selbst nach Tagen duftet das leere Sample noch nach Kirsche und Kräutern. Am Gaumen kann er dann dich nicht ganz mithalten. Alkohol ist top eingebunden. Auch wieder ganz viel Kirsch mit Kräutern, Fassnoten, Tabak. Bitternoten sind merklich vorhanden, aber harmosiniert mit der Süße. Schön sowas mal im Glas gehabt zu haben
