Vidya Anansi 2019
Don't judge this one by the pour: several tasters were almost let down by the quiet nose (sugarcane, brown sugar, baking spice) before the palate flipped things around. That's where the ex-DOK Jamaican cask wakes it up — esters, nail polish, tropical and dried fruit, peppery oak. One member likened it to a vieux Sajous in profile. Fruit-finders are split: a few got peach and lychee, others mostly wood and pencil shavings.
- DOK finish adds depth
- Funky tropical esters
- Well-integrated cane profile

How does Vidya Anansi 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Quiet nose, DOK-funky cane palate Most agree the DOK finish saves it from being one-dimensional — quiet nose, livelier palate of esters, fruit and spicy oak. The 61% heat nips a bit at the end.

Review by Skyfly
Nach der ersten Nase war ich noch etwas enttäuscht: Zuckerrohr, brauner Zucker und Backgewürz - irgendwie hatte ich mir das aber auch so vorgestellt. Im Gaumen dann eine positive Überraschung: Das Ex-DOK-Fass hat den Rum wirklich positiv beeinflusst, sodass sowohl tropische als auch Trockenfrüchte und Ester/ Nagellack wahrzunehmen sind. Daneben schmeckt man leichte Minze, Gewürze und Holz. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden!
Review by Righrum
A nice surprise, this rhum from Ghana. Pretty light on the nose despite the ABV, which is clearly noticeable, with some sugar, especially the powedered one, spices, some grassy note and sugarcane, resembling a vieux sajous in terms of profile. After some time, some hint of chocolate. The palate is more complex, starting where the nose ended, with the sugarcane, but there are a few more layers, with hint of esters and fruit. A nice surprise
Review by Johannes
Ich mag das Ghana Profil sehr gerne. Dieser hat eine zusätzliche Komplexität durch das DOK Finish- schöne Pfirsich Noten,
Review by Herr K
Ich wollte mal etwas neues ausprobieren und so kam mir dieser Split gerade recht, er klang interssant und spannend. Ich gebe meinem Vorredner recht, ich war bei öffnen und einschenken schon enttäuscht, denn es war wirklich kaum etwas zu erriechen. Ein bisschen braunen Zucker, ganz dünn und zart. Aber dann im Mund, am Gaumen, auf der Zunge, eine echte Überraschung. Frucht und Zucker und Ester, ein wenig Holz passen toll zusammen und der Alkohol führt zu einer wohliges Wärme. Gefällt mir echt gut !
Review by Buddudharma
Profil einem Low-Ester-Jamaikaner recht ähnlich. Für 5 Jahre schon recht ansehnlich, hinten raus zwickt der Alkohol aber etwas. Gelungene Abfüllung.
