Casa Barú Double Crop Geisha Coffee Pure Pot Still Rum

The gimmick is real: sugarcane fermented with Geisha coffee yeast, and coffee genuinely leads here — mocha, milk chocolate, caramelized burnt sugar. But at 40% and only 3-4 years old the palate reads thin, and even fans call the alcohol a bit rough for the proof. Green apple and a surprising chili note keep the nose interesting; several tasters just wanted more body.

Again, first of all many thanks to crazyforgoodbooze for letting me have the bottles for free. Seems like you can't get these bottlings easily yet, which really isn't a big loss. Definitely this bottling is a new direction in taste I haven't tried before. With a proper ABV definitely much cooler. Positively surprised. In my opinion rather unsuitable as a mixer.

Unfortunately, despite its young age, the alcohol is already poorly integrated and that at only 40%. Otherwise, something would certainly have worked here. As it is, we are again at a loss as to what exactly this is supposed to be. At least it arouses some interest.

6.2/10

6,4:On the nose, sugarcane, vegetal with mushrooms, musty, roasted wood notes like roasted nuts, confectionery, baked apple, yeast, smoky, burnt, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, it becomes fruitier with apple, grapefruit, the cane becomes flowery, grassy, some whisky hints crawl in, vanilla and pastry, hints of coffee help rounding the nose. 6:On the palate the attack is dry, sweet, slightly bitter with roasted wood notes, burnt like caramelized burnt sugar, mocha, milk chocolate, smoky, spicy with clove, black pepper, fruity with green apple, dried and citrus fruits, as the sugarcane is flowery, earthy, vegetal with chilli, fermented, as yeast is obvious, sweet with hints of honey. 6,2The finish is short, dry, soapy, as bitter burnt notes, smoky, spicy, pair earthy molasses and dried fruits..
