Kesselherz Louis Santo Single Rum 2001
Coffee, dark chocolate and caramel lead here, with dried apricot and a nutty, fruitcake edge from 18 years in cask. Several tasters find it rounder and chocolatey but note the fruit fades fast, leaving a dry, woody, slightly sharp finish. A few flag a faint bitter off-note. Pleasant cane-juice rum at 44%, though opinions swing from "best of the night" to "not for me."

- Round, easy 44%

Chocolatey, coffee-led, dry woody finish Divides people sharply. Most enjoy the chocolate-coffee-caramel core, but some hit a bitter note and find the finish woody and a touch unbalanced.

Review by Alex1981
Zunächst etwas schatf an der Nase, wird dann süßer. Am Gaumen eher mild, mit Kaffee, Kokos & Karamell Süße. Hintenraus eher holzig & scharf, insgesamt eher unrund. Nicht so ganz mein Fall, höchstens zusammen mit Kuchen o.ä.
Review by Martin Spooner
Intensiv würzig. Angenehm süßlich im Geruch. Im Geschmack Honig, Peffrig mit früchten. Im Abgang trocken mit Holz und Lakritz. Sehr angenehm. Der beste des tasting abends. Vielleicht echt ein Geheimtipp.
Review by Boletus
Ein runder und süffiger Rum, der trotz seiner niedrigen Alkoholstärke ein vollmundig schokoladiges Trinkerlebnis bietet, allerdings nach dem Auftakt im Mund seine Fruchtigkeit verliert. Aufgrund der ein wenig eingestaubt und antik wirkenden Eiche kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass hier auch alte Sherryfässer bei der Grundreifung verwendet wurden. Gerne würde ich diesen Rum in Fassstärke probieren!
Review by R Wehner
Nase schön, Zuckerrohrrum, Zunge agricole, würzig, aber auch hier (wie beim 12er) irgendeine Fehl- bzw Bitternote, schade, aber diese Reihe spricht mich gar nicht an
