Hope he had a great day with his family and friends. ------------------ 17.06.2011 this was part of a trip our Shanghai group had arranged to visit the China Wall Reserve.

Thank you Johannes for the samples. Rx3886 Berry Bros & Rudd Port Mourant Demerara 1975, 32y, 46% Dried plums, licorice, old rotten wood, molasses, cola, dark chocolate, coffee, brown sugar. Licorice, dried fruit, spiciness, dark chocolate, and overall sweet-bitter taste. Very rich, complex, and full at 46%, very warm aroma and taste. Rx6635 Rum Nation Demerara 1975, 25y, 45% Immediately after pouring, very fruity fresh and floral. After smelling, the profile darkens into licorice, dried plums, spiciness, and wood. The taste is noticeably more diluted, with fruitier flavors complemented again by licorice, spiciness, and wood. Not as heavy and full because the freshness of tropical and continental fruit remains. Rx5335 Rum Nation Demerara 1975, 31y, 43% On the nose vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, brown sugar, sweet pastries, dried fruit, wood. The same tones appear in the taste. Overall quite diluted and therefore rather indistinct, light, and sweeter. Rx11728 Samaroli Demerara 1975, 31y, 45% At first continental fruit, especially red apple, after a while dark notes of licorice, dried plums, wet wood, light cola, but also sweeter tones of chocolate, vanilla, and caramel become more pronounced. In the taste again first light fruit, which quickly transitions into licorice, wood, and spicy and coffee bitterness. It's a kind of mix of the second and third sample, besides typical dark traits it is fresh and fruity, but also sweeter.
