C. Dully Selection Spanish Heavy Rum 2007
The vanilla comes at you like a fistful of baking-mix vanilla sugar — one member says exactly that, and most of the room agrees it's a lot. Underneath there's ester, coffee, roasted wood and some tropical fruit, but a synthetic, almost perfumed note runs through the whole thing. Odd, spicy, high-ester Spanish rum at cask strength. Curious drinkers found it worth trying once; few loved it.

How does C. Dully Selection Spanish Heavy Rum 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Odd high-ester rum drowning in synthetic vanilla Interesting rather than beloved — an ester-and-vanilla oddity most tasters found compelling for a glass, then let down by a persistent artificial note.

Review by Skyfly
Interessant, aber auf irgendeine Art auch merkwürdig. Das Profil hatte ich bisher nicht im Glas. Ester, Unterschiedliche Früchte und Gewürze wechseln sich ab. Leider schwingt dauerhaft etwas künstliches mit.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein recht merkwürdiger Rum. An der Nase werde ich fast ausschließlich von Vanillin erschlagen…aks wenn ich meine Nase direkt in Vanilin-Backpulver stecken hätte. Angangs waren noch minimal erwas Ester, Wachs und Honig erkennbar… Am Gaumen zuerst schwere Süße und Vanille, der dann rasch eine künstliche Note folgt. Etwas Tannine und später Passionsfrucht sind ebenfalls zu spüren. Der Abgang ist bitter, kräuterig und leicht künstlich.
Review by zabo
Ohje was ist den das nur? Irgendwie riecht und schmeckt das, als hätte man aus Mamas Backkiste Vanillezucker mit ein bißchen Wasser und Alkohl vermischt. Insgesamt gesehen nicht so der Burner, zum Backen bestimmt nicht schlecht, aber zum trinken nicht.
Review by Leo Krüper
Schoko und Alkohol. Hintenraus etwas Ester. Das Ganze aber sehr grob.
Review by Mentalo
Ein Spanish Style High Ester Rum. Grundsätzlich eine spannende Abfüllung und auch interessant mal im Glas gehabt zu haben. Nur am Ende ist es für mich die (penetrante, leicht künstliche) Vanillenote eines Diplomatico auf Steroiden. Vanille Overkill mit leichter Esternote und etwas Holz.
Review by Mirco
Interessant wie sehr sich der Geschmack mit Oxidation verändert. Flasche wurde geöffnet und sofort Anklänge von Hampden. Nach rund 1 Monat ist fast der ganze Ester mit der Hamden DNA verflogen und Backgewürz/Vanille ist geblieben. Schade, zu künstlich/rund.
