Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4925 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Medium intense, light wood, fruity, light berries, cherry, light vegetal, round. Palate Balanced, oily, round, light wood, light roasted, light spicy, pineapple, light cherry, medium dry, light berries. Finish Long and warm, light wood, light citrus, light strawberry, round, faint earthy, oily. This is a very good release and I had to try it a few times just because that is what you can do at the WL 😊

Whisky Live Paris 2024 (trade fair evaluation, only overall rating and personal recommendation to buy): Very tasty, I liked it very much. Would have liked a bottle of it.

Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to be reviewed. A good unshared, as is often the case with this series, a little dry perhaps, but with beautiful fruit all the same, and a "savannah" woodiness I'd say that always pleases me.
Review by Ayc
Assez monolithique, nez sur de la feuilles mouillés. Un poil assez vernis Finale sur la griotte une peu porté par l’accol. Integration de l’alcool moyenne.
Review by Niko
Encore un fût magnifique avec la signature gustative exubérante et complexe de S'avança. Extra !
Review by pierre
Vachement sympa, un peu droit, monolitique. Un cote feuille de cigare mouillées qui fait bien trippé (jai dit saumurébau debut mais cest pas ca). Nez un petit cote on vient de ciré les escalier massif de limmeuble du 8 . Longueur en bouche tenue par lalcool. Fin de bouche cerise noire (aymeric). Sur la langue on est au courant que c'est de lagri (ce truc sur le coté de la langue la). Integration pas completement reussie. Mais ca va.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at Whisky Live in Paris in 2024. A vegetal nose with dry herbs, controlled oak and dried fruit. The palate is full-bodied, with the same aromas and a predominance of dried fruit on the herbal/woody side. Here too, the woodiness is under control. The finish is a little dry, with dried herbs and wood, which is not the best effect and detracts from the note. Otherwise a very good rum.

Nice, some chewing gum, ending is fun
Review by Richard Krupa
Sussi, roasted, woody sample. Such a fried berry fruit / tart, medium-long pleasant finish

Un agricole qui me fait penser a un anglais avec ses notes de cuir
Review by Morten Nørregaard Rasmussen
Got a sample from a good friend, very nice Agricole. Spicy, citrus and good alcohol pinch 🤏
Review by Julien Ries
Le nez est clairement sur des esters assez vifs et intenses. Il faut vraiment du temps pour se familiariser à ce côté vernis à ongle pas très agréable, pour le dépasser et sentir autre chose. Ce nez est très alcoolique, avec ces marqueurs sur le kirsch. On sent un peu le côté Porto mais le tout est quand même bien agressif. Quelques accents végétaux complètent le tableau. Pas terrible. La bouche est tout aussi puissante, avec beaucoup d'esters encore. Heureusement, le vernis s'efface mais il y a un côté très gras sur la langue. C'est huileux et intense, avec du rôti, du fumé façon viande boucanée. Le fruité est plus présent qu'au nez. Il y a aussi des épices de cuisine (piment, poivre vert) et le fût de Porto se fait bien sentir, avec aussi de la cerise. La finale est très longue sur du boisé léger, et les épices.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The rums from the Savanna distillery are some of my favourites. I recommend everyone to try especially the higher ester pieces like Grand arome or HERR. You haven't felt so much fruit in a few little drops of liquid for a long time.
Review by Jizeus Christ Guitare
Nez assez léger, plutôt gourmand mais discret. Alcool très bien intégré. Avec le temps devient plus végétal et fermentaire. Un peu de saumure et une olive verte. Bouche ronde, attaque très douce et progressive, alcool très bien. Le Porto arrive en fin de bouche et évolue vers un côté plus végétal et fermentaire (clairin, grogue) Finale moyennement longue, avec un peu de chocolat qui passe du lait au noir et finit sur une légère amertume de thé noir. Ensemble solide et réussi, mais ensemble finalement plus classique que ce à quoi on aurait pu s'attendre.
