Inverroche Limestone Rum 2009

7.8/10
Rated by Nika, Martin Ekrt & 33 more

Almost everyone calls this one a curiosity more than a nightly pour. It's a strange beast: medicinal, mineral and rubbery with a burnt-plastic edge from the local limestone water, plus a little salinity. One taster still found sour honey and fruit underneath. A few felt let down that 45% leaves it a touch watery and short.

  • Truly unique
  • Mineral complexity
  • Great for tastings

Tohle je jeden z krásných příkladů, proč říkám, že je rum nejkreativnější alkohol ze všech co se nabízené palety chutí a vůní týče. To, co s chutí dokázala udělat vápenitá voda použitá k doředění je neuvěřitelné. Ochutnat by měl každý, chutnat bude málokomu.

Okay I enjoyed this one a lot. Something unique - minerals, chemistry, connected with technicality, rubber almost leather tones. I will remember this one :)

Color - even if it’s 10 years old, it’s light yellow, like white wine. The taste is unusual - for rum. It reminds me some old sour honey - sweet, old, mineral and medicinal… I don’t feel rubber, but more like fruits. The end is quite fast, bitter with woody tones. Personal note - interesting for degustations, not for regular drinking.

Zajímavost, ne rum k regulérnímu popíjení a vychutnávání. Naprosto brutální kombinace medicinských, minerálních tónů a gumy, mírná slanost.

Co dokáže udělat vápenná voda při fermentaci je úžasné. Signifikantní rum jako žádný jiný.
