Braasch Rum Klassik

Sipped neat it comes across light and watery, with a bit of pineapple and raisin and not a lot else — most tasters wanted more in the glass. Even at 40% the alcohol reads poorly integrated, and the finish leaves a peppery, slightly bitter and furry tail. A few see it as a gentle, cheap first sip-neat rum; more experienced drinkers here find it thin and forgettable.

Light, watery Jamaican with a peppery finish Verdict skews low: most call it thin, watery and lightly bitter on the finish, with poorly bound alcohol. A couple rate it a fair, easy beginner pour, nothing more.

Rum from Flensburg. Since the city has a rather long-standing connection to rum, I find it a pity that it has led to so little (apart from a few limited releases). This reminds me a lot of the cheap Pott Rum, also from Flensburg. Wouldn't be surprised if the content is largely the same.

Light rum. Well suited for entry into the world of drinking neat. Good value for money. Nice color. Light raisin tone, as well as nice fruity tones popular with older ones. Soft and mild.

Re-tasting the Braasch Klassik from Flensburg. A rum from my early days that I now have to give a few points less. Poorly integrated alcohol and an unpleasant bitterness and fuzziness in the aftertaste. Its siblings will also face a re-tasting or new tasting tonight.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.
