People who collect oddball experiments will get the most out of this one: a high-ester Barbados pot-still finished in ex-hot-sauce casks. You taste the fruity, strawberry-banana rum first, then a real chili heat that sits on your tongue for a long time. Fun as a blind-tasting party trick — one member said the rum "kaum vorhanden," almost buried under vinegar and chili.

- Fruity ester base

Wild chili-finished ester rum, a novelty Divisive novelty. Some love it as a wild, peppery experiment worth sharing blind; others taste mostly vinegar, chili and alcohol with the rum nearly gone.

A little sample from Filip, thanks 😉 It's wild, peppery and quite fun. Please more experiments like this than some sweetened patois👏

For me, this is probably one of the most disappointing finishes ever made for rum. I might as well drink Tabasco and then a random shot of rum. It tastes primarily of vinegar, chili and green pickled peppers. The rum is virtually non-existent and only adds alcohol in sensory terms...

Review by Johannes
A crazy experiment! High Ester Barbados meets chili. Initially, you can clearly taste this fruity, strawberry high-ester rum, followed shortly afterwards by a distinct spiciness that lingers on the tongue for a long time.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Some people like it, I don't like it, the spiciness doesn't go over my head.
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Very interesting piece. It's not a sipping rum, but I always like to have it as a curiosity of what someone has done. The idea of putting rum in a barrel after tabasco?🤣 It doesn't burn unpleasantly but it smokes😁 I really enjoy giving it to visitors or friends blind.

Vintage 2022. I rate it 8.4 out of 10, a very good rum.
