Pellegrini Rhum Special Kingston
Newcomer-friendly on paper, but RumX members find this Costa Rican “Special Kingston” more like a sugary liqueur with heavy artificial, chemical notes. Mostly used as a novelty in blind tastings, not a serious sipper.
- Sweet candy notes
- Low alcohol burn
- Nostalgic bubblegum

Zu allererst einmal ein DICKES DANKESCHÖN an TheDunderHut, wieder bei dem Wird&Blind Set dabei gewesen zu sein. Zusammen mit DomM wurde sich dieser Aufgabe gestellt. Leider kein Einhorn dabei gewesen, aber tolle rare Sachen probiert, an die man sonst nicht so gut rankommt. Einzig die Geschichten zu jeden einzelnen Rum des Spliters dazu habe ich wirklich vermisst zu.

Arturs Weird and Blind tasting Nummer 7. Ziemlich süß und auch schwer im Blindtasting irgendwo einzuordnen, aber mir kam sofort eine Erinnerung aus der Kindheit an eine bestimmte Hubba Bubba Sorte (Blaue Dose mit pinken Meterkaugummi).
Review by DomM
While the nose is fruity with solvent and artificial notes, the taste on the palate is just on another level of offensive. Burnt chemicals, artificial flavors, pure hate in liquid form.

Weird and Blind tasting @Artur: Deutlich gesüßt, geht in Richtung Marillen Liqueur.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Weird and Blind #7 Received a really nice set from member TheDunderHut, where you never know what you're getting. There are some nice, special rums in there that I wouldn't normally try. I really enjoyed it. This sample: artificially sweet and fruity, chemicals. It goes downhill quickly.

Gesüßt, likörig, vanillig. Sehr künstlich
