Eine positive Überraschung aus dem Penny Regal. Wirklich wie gemacht für Rum-Cola. An sich nichts besonderes, aber er macht definitiv einen deutlich älteren Eindruck als die Angabe von >2 Jahre vermuten lässt. Blind hätte ich ihn in die Dom-Rep verortet. Etikett sagt Philippinen und Thailand, interessant...

Dieser Rum verändert zwar nicht dein Leben, die hohe Pubktzahl basiert auf seinen unverschämt guten Preis! Einer der besten Rum-Sorten für so wenig Geld (8,,99€)

6.6/10

Ok, this is indeed very solid. Classic notes you would expect from a moderately priced column rum: vanilla, caramel, some wood but als quite some spices and a hint of fruits are present on the nose and palate. A hint of artificial strawberries on the finish. This is not lifechaning, but pretty tastey looking at price and ABV. Obviously this will not hold up versus full proof bottlings, but that is not surprising at all.

Preis-Leistung topp. Fürn Cubalibre sehr gut geeignet, aber auch pur genießbar. Nicht der beste Rum aller Zeiten aber für 9 Euro echt stark.

5.9/10

Erster Eindruck: lieblich, aromatisch Nase: leicht fruchtig, Marzipan, leicht Gaumen: hier muss man den Aromen schon ordentlich nachspüren, nichts vordergründiges Abgang: kurz und leicht Gesamteindruck: nur mit Cola, in einer namenlosen Bowle/Punch oder als Alkoholspritze für Säfte. Naja, was erwartet man für 7,99€

Haut niemanden vom Hocker, aber rundum solide; +1 in der Gesamtwertung wegen unschlagbarem Preis (7.99€ im lokalen Penny)
