Review by Johannes
Phew, I really expected more. Regardless of the data of the rum, which sound interesting at first, quite "sober" considered: Alcoholic, flat, column style, a little more flavor compared to the others, chocolate, some barrel.
Review by Master P
Bei dem hier kann man zumindest Dunkle Schokolade wahrnehmen. Leider konnte keines der vier Fässer überzeugen. zu süß, viel zu flach, von knapp 50 jahren Lagerzeit erwartet man einfach mehr. Alkohol ist auch sehr präsent, brennt....
Review by Timo Groeger
The next FRC. Again a little too sweet, but not as bad as the previous one. Again vanilla, caramel and dark chocolate on the nose and palate. Also quite spicy and slightly alcoholic on the palate.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Gefällt mir besser als RX17309 und RX17310, ist aber immer noch enttäuschend. Vielleicht auch einfach nicht mein bevorzugter Stil.
Review by Jakob
Sugar, musty wood, herbs - unfortunately not much fun.
Review by Jarek
Leider konnte keines der vier Fässer überzeugen. Vielen zu süß, viel zu flach und von der angeblichen langen Lagerzeit nichts zu merken.

#5006 29.12.2024 Relaxing with an older sample I had on the shelf. Nose Light wood, light roasted, dried fruit, faint nutts, faint floral, spice, light caramel. Palate Light, light wood, dried fruit, spice, lightly sweet, faint chocolate, light nutts, medium spicy, faint floral, light caramel. Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light chocolate, light caramel, light nutts. The empty glass has light prunes, light cherry and a faint earthy note.
Review by Serge
Geschmack zumindest vorhanden. besser als 22 und 36 aber immer noch nicht angenehm. Weit davon.
Review by zabo
Franconian Tasting Gang If only with cola and ice. Edit: Unfortunately I have to retract this statement. I think it's pretty much the only rum and coke I've ever thrown away because I couldn't get it down.
