It really is a strange juice. On the nose, it's very green coffee and not necessarily very flattering; you expect fullness and roundness and you get something else. On the palate, it's almost as much roasted hazelnut as coffee. Probably nice in cocktails if you know your way around, but complicated to match otherwise.
Auto-translatedI really enjoyed this pour. Aside from the coffee and caramel, I picked up a ton of ancho chili notes from nose to finish which created a complex experience. I’d love to go back to this as I think there are a lot more notes to be pulled out.
#5805 29.09.2025 Day three of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. They really like to experiment and that's of course a good thing, but the rum is still sweet. This one has light wood and smoky notes with coffee, some chocolate and cherries mixed with some spices.
Pure coffee. Really great aromas of fresh, high-quality Arabica coffee beans with plenty of depth and intensity. Overall rather dry and hardly sweet, the alcohol is well integrated and quite drinkable. However, apart from the coffee aroma, there is hardly anything of the rum to be found here. Certainly fun for cocktails and desserts, but you can also make it yourself 😀
