Chamarel Highveld Aging Séries Oloroso Cask Antipodes 2017
Red wine, sherry and red fruit lead the way — this is an oloroso finish doing most of the talking, with dried fruit, chocolate, leather and coffee filling in behind wood and tannins. One taster's favourite bit is the nose; strawberry and sherry jump out before the palate turns drier, woodier and a touch sour. At 55%, the alcohol sits surprisingly well integrated for a cane-juice pot still.
The community says- Gorgeous sherry nose
- Well-integrated 55%
- But: Palate drier than nose

How does Chamarel Highveld Aging Séries Oloroso Cask Antipodes 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Sherry-driven cane-juice rum, wood and red wine Most tasters land happy here — a well-made Mauritian where the oloroso cask really took hold. Several call the nose lovelier than the slightly plainer, drier palate.

Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar Day 5. Un nez doux de Sherry avec des fruits rouges, presque de la fraise et le bois est en soutient. La bouche part fort avec de l’alcool, du vieux bois et de la vanille mais les fruits rouges impressionnants du nez sont en retrait et peinent à émerger. Je sens un côté vin rouge qui me dérange un petit peu. La finale est dans le prolongement de la bouche avec plus d’amertume boisée et une légère acidité. Un magnifique nez, hélas tempéré par une bouche plus banale. Les amateurs de finition en fûts de Sherry vont adorer.

Review by Michal S
Solidní Mauricius, do něhož se hodně propsalo oloroso. Ve vůni i v chuti dominují tóny červeného ovoce, sherry a červeného vína, je tam i dřevo a nějaká čokoláda. Celou láhev bych asi nedal, ale jednou za čas, proč ne.
Review by Roman Lelek
Ať first impression I feel the typical warmth of agricole… The color is dark oak, more dark brown. The nose contains fruits and spices mixed with woody tones. The taste - for me is quite strong - warm, little bit alcoholic, but doesn’t hurt . There are tones of red wine, chocolate, wood…quite interesting is that it’s some kind of sour..definitely not sweet.. I wouldnt buy the whole bottle, because of the price:advantages ratio- i would pick up different bottle..but as a sample….it is fine, interesting, so next one please.

Hodně připsány finish, celkem sladke
Review by Martin Ekrt
Ve vůni dominuje oloroso finiš. Chuť je hodně po vínu, dost koření a tříslovin. Základ je dost upozaděný, ale ve výsledku mi to chutná.
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Hodne zajimave, netipoval bych destinaci. Krasna barva tmave hneda. Krasne steka po stene sklenicky. Ve vuni drevo a sherry. V chuti je krasne citit drevo a vyrazne sherry. Dojezd stredne dlouhy a na konci citit krasne tresne a lehce trpke. Alkohol dobre integrovan

Pavel Špaček degu kalendář 4 2024 Tuhle lahev jsem nikdy neviděl a Chamarel by byl to poslední, co bych tipoval 😄... Povedený kousek s tóny sušeného ovoce, dřeva, kůže, kávy, čokolády, koření, červeného vína. Připadá mi velmi jemný a nasládlý, vůbec bych mu netipoval 55% 👍
