S.B.S Thailand 2017 (Moscatel Finish)

Sip it neat and the nose is the star: coconut, vanilla, caramel and tropical fruit, with the Moscatel cask adding an extra fruity edge. Several tasters kept blind-guessing Foursquare. The palate leans sweet and rounded, but at nearly 60% the alcohol runs hot and the finish is short. Many find it pleasant but a touch one-dimensional.

The community says
  • Coconut-caramel nose
  • Moscatel fruit
  • But: Alcohol too hot

Ich habe bisher nur einen Thailander als Vergleich. Der Oldman Spirits GmbH Thailand Flensburg Rum Company Thailand (Special Bottling for 12th German Rumfest) 60,3% hat ein ähnliches Geschmacksprofil, jedoch finde ich dort trotz des höheren Alkoholgehalts diesen angenehmer bzgl. der Alkoholeinbindung.

Vůni bych naslepo tipoval na Foursquare. Hodně kokosu s nádechem po bourbonu, vanilka, sušené ovoce. Čím déle se nechá rozležet, tím lepší vůně. Chuťově je zo zase nějaký FS, jen více nasládlý. Závěr sušené datle, vanilka, kokos, skořice. Není to špatné, ale rumu není nic zajímavého.

Nase: zunächst leicht stechend, dann öffnet sich ein breites Aroma von Holz, tropischen Früchten, Kokosnuss und Karamell. Erinnert mich etwas an den Geruch einer frisch angefeuerten Sauna. Geschmack: unfassbar weich und rund. Geschmack Richtung Kokosnuss, Holz, tropischen Früchte und Röstaromen. Dazu kommen weinige Note.

Thailand ist immer wieder für Überraschungen gut. Dieser Rum ist sehr süß und würde für so manchen Neuling den Einstieg in die Rum Welt erleichtern bzw. zugänglicher machen. Ein schöner Sipper für laue Sommertage. Für den Nerd mal eine schöne Abwechslung, mehr aber auch nicht.

Schöne Aromen, Kokosnuss, Aprikosen, Karamell Vanille allerdings recht süß, eine leichte Würze und angenehme Faß Noten. PLV durchaus sehr gut, was mir negativ auffällt, die alkoholische Schärfe und der relativ kurze Abgang trüben das ansonsten sehr gute Gesamtbild etwas.

Starke Holznote in Nase und Mund, trotzdem fruchtig mit Karamellnote. Kurzer Abgang, welcher sich nicht groß vom Geschmack unterscheidet. Durch den dominanten Alkohol pur Geschmackssache, aber im Rum Old Fashioned eine Granate - nur zu empfehlen!

Positive Überraschung! Rum aus Thailand mit Moscatel-Finish. Nase ist wirklich toll und erinnert an den ein oder anderen Foursquare, im Mund könnte es aber ein wenig zahmer für meinen Geschmack sein, denn der Alkohol ist sehr präsent.

Dieser Rum weckt bei mir Assoziationen zu Foursquare und Belize, mit allen positiven wie allerdings auch negativen Aspekten.. das Profil ist angenehm „süffig“, leider mehr auch nicht… irgendwie ist er mir zu eindimensional

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.
