8,1:On the nose, the first impression we get is a nail polish, esters with tropical fruits and citrus, a bit sweet, a molasses is noticable with vegetal touch, the wood is roasted, spicy with vanilla. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is fruity and woody with tropical, yellow fruits and citrus like lemon, orange, the roasted wood brings caramel and smoke, spices like pepper, nutmeg, vanilla and is a bit dry. 8:The finish is long, dry with roasted, smoky wood notes as burnt sugar, caramel, spicy with nutmeg and fruity with tropical fruits, orange...
Review by cigares
Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A lively, dry and complex nose with esters, wood, vegetal and tropical fruits. And already the second pleasant surprise of the evening. The palate is spicy with tropical fruit and wood. The finish is rather long on dry wood but with roundness. The best rum of the evening, and a fine promise for the future from this distillery.

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!

Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Zum Abschluss der Beweis dass Puerto Rico auch etwas spannendes bieten kann. Schöne Balance zwischen der klassichen Vanille und Holzwürze, Nüssen, Karamell sowie netter Intensität.
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 19 Der beste Rum aus der Reihe. Ein sehr schöner Rum aus Puerto Rico der Spass macht. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊
Review by Leo Krüper
Aromatischer schwerer Rum im Vergleich zu seiner Herkunft. Wohl das beste was Puerto Rico zu bieten hat.

23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Ganz anders als der Rest des Abends. Spannende Nase mit Nagellack, Frucht, Holz. Im Mund dann gute Intensität aber gleichzeitig mild und würzig. Sehr süffig.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a pretty good single cask rum from rumclub and considering the price tag it's very good. The nose is sweet and fruity with roasted oak and a tad of vanilla. The palate is smoky/woody with spices and fruits. The finish is long and spicy with orange and a smoky end.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 19 - Highlight des Tastings. Schmeckt viel aromatischer als alles anderen Rums des Tastings. Die typischen Aromen Vanille, Süße und Holz sind vertreten, aber diesmal schmeckt man die Fasslagerung
Review by DomM
Puerto Rico Set Nr. 19: The elevated ABV clearly supports those one. More intensity on the nose. The nose is more complex than the contenders so far, combining caramel, vanilla and wood notes with (dried) fruits and some roasted notes. Nice. On the palate the bottling presents ample sweetness providing the base for an enjoyable overall picture. Dried fruits, spices and wood mingle in a honey/ siroupy sensation. Cheers to Artur for curating this set!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr leckerer runder und in sich sehr harmonischer single Barrel aus Puerto rico! Könnte ein ticken mehr power vertragen, ist aber nichtsdestotrotz bisher einer der wenigen wirklich gut gemachten und leckeren single barrels aus Puerto Rico von don q.
Review by Carlitooo
Nach langer Zeit gerade mal wieder im Glas gehabt. Für mich einer der spannendsten Rums aus Puerto Rico
Review by Franzi
Tatsächlich etwas ganz nettes von Puerto Rico. Schönes Zusammenspiel von Röst und holzaromen mit leichten fruchtaromen. Sicherlich keine Esterbombe und keine spektakulärer Rum. Durch den style nicht besonders wild, aber innerhalb dieser Machart ein (für mich) ganz gelungener runder rum.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"For me personally, this is the best that this style of rum has yet produced, endless warmth and elegant sweetness with char and dried herbs. complexer notes of wood and dry tones of vanilla. A very subtle but again elegant finish. Daiquiri: Old wood and fresh fruit, while being dust dry. zero sugar. Unbelievable. 5/5 would drink again."
