The port cask does more talking than the rum here — berries, cherry and a bit of sweetness ride on top, but the base spirit underneath is dry, woody and a touch harsh. At 58.6% the alcohol isn't fully tucked in; several members call it sharp-edged and thin, though one finds it "schön rund" and lands it above 8. A tasting-worthy oddity more than a slam dunk.

Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Port-finished Panama, berries over a hot woody base Members split from disappointment to real enjoyment — the port finish and berries land well, but hot, poorly integrated alcohol and a dry, woody base spirit hold most back.

Just bottled for splitting and now finally in the glass for tasting. As expected with a Ruby Port finish, you are greeted by nice berry fruits, which also bring corresponding sweetness that remains here; the finish is indeed very successful. Overall a pretty rounded and very tasty affair.

I had expected a bit more here.. ultimately a disappointment. The nose is barely noticeable. A little fruitiness and a bit more alcohol. The palate is also very flat with a bit of cinnamon and nut. The port finish is barely detectable. The finish is short and unremarkable. A pity, the port wine on the other hand is clearly better and a nice dessert drop
Review by Timo Groeger
Last sample from Kumoel, but I don't know if what's inside matches the label. Seems pretty sweet to me. I have chocolate, caramel, cookie and cocoa on nose and palate. It's okay, can be done once.
Review by Johannes
The finish comes through well, nicely round. But the alcohol could be better integrated. I like it!
Review by Jarek
Yeah, the finish doesn’t suit my taste, but I fear the base spirit wasn’t very good either. Alcohol not well integrated, a slight but unpleasant floral note in the nose and finish. Also somehow salty on the finish. Not my rum.
Review by Jan Lu
I expected a bit more in taste. A bit sharp-edged and alcohol not so well integrated. Definitely worth a tasting. You can clearly taste the cask. The preceding wine that came with the sample gets a 9.6 from me! Clear purchase recommendation. 😀
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
A tasty del Artesano. You can recognize tar, chocolate and also berries, I think blackberries. Also quite pleasant on the finish, surely better ones exist but still a good choice to drink.
Review by F.L.O.
Phew, I'm actually a big Artesano fan and always find Sebastian's bottlings very consistent, but here the first impression is a bit tough. Quite dry, wood and very, very late a bit of fruit (cherry?). A very slight bitter note comes even later. The alcohol is well integrated. I have to try again to confirm the impression. For now clearly below 8.

Unfortunately way too rough an expirience drinking this. too much of alcohol in every sensation. and then a real harsh adstringent dryness of which i do not know what to do with. Possibly want more aging but not in this cask...
