Bardinet Rhum Negrita Negrita «Old Nick» Rum bottled 1950s
Sipped neat is really the only way anyone here treats this old 1950s bottling — it's a museum piece, not a mixer. The glass gives chocolate, prune and dried fruit over old leather, molasses and a metallic, workshop-oil edge. Despite the 60% it drinks light and soft on the palate. Opinions swing hard: some find it superbly complex, others call it artificial with a rustic, mangy note and a short finish.
The community says- Chocolate depth
- Complex dried fruit
- But: Short finish

Erstaunlich, welche Aromenvielfalt diese alte Abfüllung zu bieten hat..ein Potpurri an Gewürzen, getrockneten Früchten und Schokolade . Am Gaumen ist er zwar felativ leicht und weich, dennoch bleibt die Aromenvielfalt erhalten. Lediglich der Abgang ist relativ kurz. Toll, diesen Rum mal tasten zu können

Mmh that's not my cup of tea at all. Tastes very strangely artificial with an incredible amount of spices .... Smells like baking and green cake paired with a manginess that I can't stand 😅😅. No no, that's not something I want to drink. Sorry Still, great to be able to try it... if I pull off Räudig and not mine, it's solid 🤝🏻
Review by Paul Christiaens
Verdict: dispite the lower ABV, this is a superblij complex rum. It has lots of dark, roasted, fruity and sweet notes, quite some oil, leather, and spice. 88 points, due to the lower ABV, otherwise it had been 90+. Nose: nicely rounded, oily, but also rather powerful. Old leather books, a mechanic workshop, dark red fruit, prune, copper coins, polished wood, roasted, baking spice. Then molasses, tobacco and dried fruit. Palate: superb. It's not big, but refined and greatly complex. Again very oily, a bit of workshop oil, grease, wax. Then very woody, roasted, tobacco, molasses and dark sugar. There is quite some dried fruit and a combination of orange zest and blood orange. Finish: a delicious continuation of the palate.

Old fashioned on nose, old plumbs, cherry, figs, all rather rustical on palate, too aromatic for me
