Der wohl perfekte Einsteiger Jamaikaner…allerdings nicht bei dem Preis. Liegt evtl aber auch am Fass, das durchaus interessant ist. Geschmacklich finde ich die intensive Fruchtbombe sehr angenehm. Das Ester erfüllt seinen Zweck. Aber leider auch sehr süß, so dass der durchaus leckere Geschmack gleich weg ist. Wie gesagt…für Einsteiger und die süßere Fraktion sehr gut, für mich deutlich zu süß. Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden.

Ausgeprägte Citrusnoten, Frucht Apricose in der Nase, im Mund schön rund, fast übertrieben fruchtig in toller Abstimmung mit dem Wagemut. Schöner Abgang

In der Nase schöne fruchtige Ester Noten, könnte ein WPE sein. Am Gaumen dann wieder zähflüssige, süße, likörartige Konsistenz, extrem rund, durch die high Ester trotzdem viel fruchtiger Geschmack, vor allem Pfirsich und Aprikose, aber durch den Zucker natürlich sehr glattgebügelt. Abgang mittellang. Für Einsteiger sicher ein guter Rum.

Zudem rum finde ich kein zugang. Was soll das denn darstellen? Vielleicht funktioniert es mit einer (schlechten?) zigarre? Viel Säure und die noten eines fuseligen aprikosenlikörs. Ich hab mich geschüttelt.

Aprikose trifft auf eine ziemlich dominante Essig-Note. Angenehme Trinkstärke. Interessantes Experiment.

Der ist für mich gar nichts. Eigentlich liebe ist High Ester Jamaika Rum, aber dieser kommt mit zu viel Säure und zu viel vergorenen Früchten. Er riecht super fruchtig nach Jamaika, aber enttäuscht im Geschmack. Ich hatte ihn allerdings ohne Zigarre. Da er im Pairing mit Zigarre gedacht ist, muss ich ihm vielleicht irgendwann noch mal ne Chance geben. Aber insgesamt sehr unausgewogen.

Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Dieser Wagemut ist nichts, mir persönlich viel zu fruchtig (tropische Früchte). In der Nase dann auch viel zu fruchtig für mich. Etwas Essig ist auch zu erkennen. Egal, Hauptsache probiert ;-)

Im ersten Moment schöne Ester Note doch der erste Schluck OMG einfach nur durch Aprikose erschlagen die ist einfach zu prägnant und überdeckt alles was da mal war. Schade ☹️
