Wow unbeschreiblich
Review by mto75
Ovomaltine at its best 😅 Malty on the nose, milk chocolate, dried dates, tangerine. Caramel and cappuccino on the palate. A nice barrel note on the finish. Dangerously delicious! Many thanks to Vienna for this!
Review by Mike H.
No tasting notes today as a lot of rums were sampled and re-sampled in addition to a couple cigars and we talked rather than taking tasting notes. This one was the highlight of the day with a re-tasting of the Tamosi Haubariria KFM.

Großartiger Rum aus Guyana. Fruchtig, schönes Aroma. I am lovin' it.
Review by Joachim Guger
Very beautiful red-gold color. Chocolate, coffee and fine spice on the nose. Lots of fruit (dried and orange). Powerful and perfectly balanced. Great, full mouthfeel. Powerful and warm. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Very good, long finish, a hint of Jamaican funkiness. A very good Demerara off the beaten track. I needed 2-3 tastings to really appreciate it.😉

01.11.2019 Den Dansk Rom & Whiskyfestival This was my first visit to this two day event, where everything is included in the ticket. Also the first event where I have seen so many extremely drunk people. This event usually just has what's considered mainstream products, but luckily my friend had the right contacts so for a premium we had our own little collection to go through. Today I get free a free ticket if I want to attend 😊 Very nice rum and a well balanced one. Medium fruity with nice spices and a warm oily palate. The finish is long and has a nice coffee/chocolate note. Made an extra not that I liked the smoky touch on the palate.

Actually, I'm not that into the 2003 Diamonds. However, this one is surprisingly round and balanced, not too much molasses, nice fruit notes.
