Auf dem 11. GRF verkostet und sich danach noch 5 cl als Sample abfüllen zu lassen war ein MUSS. Wann hat man so etwas schon mal im Glas? Götternektar. 😋😋😋

Part of the rum Olympus. You should have had it in your glass once - or as often as you can. Independent, unique and not just a world of its own in terms of taste. Impressive!

WOW… so einen Rum hatte ich noch nicht im Glas… flüssige Yoghurette in Rum !! Einzigartig, am Gaumen dazu eine präsente aber sehr gute integrierte würzige Holznote… Ein absoluter Genuss

Wow, this is a magnificent rum that lives up to all expectations: fruit, freshness, deliciousness, balance, complexity... Certainly one of the best rums I've ever drunk. And the more it opens up, the more it has to offer. A superb experience. Too bad it's limited to 2cl...

Eines der Highlights auf dem 11. GRF - Klasse, dass man sowas dort überhaupt bekommt und wahnsinnig schade, dass auch diese Destillerie wohl für alle Zeiten verloren ist…

Blind Community Tasting Courcelles 1972 by Jakob Etwas frisch vergorenes - wie bei rotem Naturwein gesellt sich zu den roten Fruchtnoten. Sonst viel typisches Karamell, Vanille, Honig. Lecker. Sehr lecker.
