RumX Adventskalender 2024 Tag 1 Angenehme Süßlich Florale Nase Würzig aber sehr mild. Etwas Seifig Bitter im Mund... etwas Menthol. Alkohol kaum spürbar weder in der Nase noch am Gaumen . Lecker aber etwas Flach .

Tag 1. RumX Adventskalender Bei der Blindverkostung habe ich schon in die richtige Richtung getippt. Leider ist dieser ganze französische Stil nicht mein Favorit von Profil. Nett ihn probieren zu dürfen, aber ich werde nicht so richtig warm damit. Seit den Velier St.James Tasting bin ich da ein gebrannten Kind.

Erster Tag des Adventskalenders 2024: an der Nase leicht säuerlich, grünes Gemüse, alter Madeira, Apfelkompott, altes Fass, Karamell, Politur. Am Gaumen mild-rund, Piment, im Abgang Tannine und Rosinen

Blindverkostung Rum X Adventskalender 2024, 1. Advent Auf jeden Fall ein Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft. Wäre hier eher bei Martinique, gut gereift (15 Jahre+?), niederer ABV mit einer 4 vorne. Bin kein Agricole Fan, aber schätze den Adventskalender vor allem auch dafür, dass man Sachen probiert, die man sonst nicht probieren würde. Der hier schmeckt mir ganz gut.

Calendrier de l’Avent RumX, jour 1. Un nez de fruits, de végétal, de bois jeunes, d’herbes sèches et comme un côté fermenté et du vernis. La bouche n’est pas au niveau et paraît diluée dans un premier temps mais ensuite les arômes remontent. Un côté fumé apparaît avec du vieux bois. La finale est plutôt courte mais du bois amer persiste assez longtemps. Un rhum un peu déséquilibré et trop dilué à mon goût mais son nez reste très beau.

Nr. 1 des RumX Adventskalender 2024. Ich muss sagen, die Nase gefällt mit sehr gut, Holz, Fass, würzig, Kaffee und für mich viel Schokolade. Am Gaumen schwächelt er dann etwas, kommt nicht an die schöne Nase ran. Finde auch, man spürt den Alkohol zu deutlich.
