RA Grenada Rum GMWE 1996

7.9/10
Rated by RumTaTa, Oliver & 14 more

Menthol and cough-syrup notes hit first, then it opens into mirabelle plums, redcurrants, fresh honeycomb and a little cinnamon pastry. Several tasters call the nose shy at first but rewarding once it develops. A 27-year column-still Grenada that drinks dry and herbal rather than rich — interesting and unusual, though a couple of people find the body thin and the alcohol a touch sharp on the nose.

  • Menthol-herbal character

Perfect for

Das ist mein erster Rum aus Grenada und mir ist gleich aufgefallen, dass die RA Abfüllung aus 2019 (3 Jahre älter und 2 Jahre kürzer gelagert) noch immer für etwas mehr als den halben Preis der aktuellen Abfüllung verfügbar ist! Nase: da hab ich gleich ein Lächeln im Gesicht - die erste Assoziation ist süßer Hustensaft. Der erste Eindruck verschwindet mit der Zeit und dann kommen Kräuter und Minze, später noch Johannesbeere und Mirabellen und etwas süßea wie Honig, sehr spannend! Leider sticht der Alkohol etwas in der Nase. Am Gaumen habe ich wieder zuerst einen angenehmen medizinischen Eindruck (fast wie Zirbe) der auch erbleibt und herrlich umrahmt wird von Süße, Frucht, Kräutern und Würze. Im mittelangen Nachklang verblassen die Aromen gleichmäßig und langsam. Sehr schöne Erfahrung mit diesem Rum aus Grenada. Jetzt bin ich neugierig und möchte auch die alte Abfüllung probieren.

Irgendwie ganz interessant, aber nicht wirklich umwerfend. Erinnert mich geschmacklich an Zitronen/Ingwertee mit angenehmer Süße. Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein. Insgesamt etwas flach.

Unerwartet geil! Tolle Nase nach roten & schwarzen Johannisbeeren, frischer Bienenwabe, Zimtplunder und vollreifen Mirabellen. Aromatisch dann leicht säuerlich, fruchtig nach gelbem Steinobst und roten Beeren, trocken und dazu etwas gerösteter Sesam und dezent Minze und Gebäck (wie ein fancy croissant mit Füllung). Sehr lecker und überraschend anders!

Sehr zurückhaltend an der Nase, dennoch komplex. Schwarzer Tee, Fruchtaromen und Würze zu erahnen. Geschmack: Würzig und mild zugleich. Anis und Mentholnoten. Konsistenz dünn und wässrig. Flüchtig im Abgang, eher kurz. In Summe wäre er mir das Geld nicht wert.

7.5/10

Subtle herbal notes on the nose alongside the typical Grenada profile with oak and caramel. A little more delicate on the palate, again light herbal notes alongside the classic ex-bourbon cask profile. Not an aroma monster, rather straightforward. Solid rum, relaxed to drink.
