Aroma visualization from community tastings
Silver Seal Haitian Rum 2004
The nose promises tropical fruit and pineapple, then the palate pulls a surprise: it's dry, tart and lean rather than sweet. Think green apple, lime and a metallic edge, with a light anise twist. One taster reckoned you could "confuse it with a Hampden," while another found it thin and a touch too Spanish-style. Warm and oily where it counts, but low on fruit follow-through.
The community says- Dry and ester-driven
- Warm oily palate
- But: Thin body

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A while back we had a nice Silver Seal tasting and a great evening ended with me being a bit tipsy from a few reruns 😊 This is a really nice release. Dry and fruity with a light woody note and spices. Warm and oily on the palate and it draws really nice curtains in the glass.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very drinkable but unfortunately a bit thin & little fruit in the taste that you are already looking forward to in the nose...
Review by Frank
Nose: initially quite alcoholic, once this has faded it comes across as very dry and tartly fruity. Green apple, red currant and somewhat sweeter lime, like kumquat. It becomes increasingly sweet in the direction of sugar syrup and takes on a slightly metallic note with a hint of aniseed. Palate: spicy, dry and metallic. Contrary to what the nose suggests, not as fruity-sweet. Tart green apple, lime and reminiscent of dry white wine or even sake. The spiciness is a mixture of caraway and aniseed. Becomes a little more bitter towards the end and still slightly aniseed. Overall a little disappointing, as it lacks depth and is a little too "Spanish" for me.

Lecker, aber ohne Ecken und Kanten
Review by Joachim Guger
Could easily be mistaken for a Hampden. Very dry, but good to drink. So not my thing, but good as a sample. But a must for Hampden freaks.
