Wahnsinnig guter Venezuela. Zusammen mit dem RA mein absoluter Benchmark Venezuela cask strength Rum. Das cognac Fass Finish bringt nochmal extra Komplexität rein. Unfassbar lecker und harmonisch! Geheimtipp: Kennedy Manhattan damit!

Wieder diese hohe alkoholische Schärfe. Es schmeckt wie ein nicht ausgewachsener Rum, der noch reifen muß. Oder einfach nur von Haus aus verdünnt werden. Die in Andeutung vorhandenen Aromen werden glatt erschlagen.

Ein schöner jahrgang und wie ich finde wesentlich besser als der 12 jährige von cdi und für mich der beste rum aus Venezuela den ich je getrunken habe. Viel frucht und viele Gewürze. Insgesamt sehr stimmig und Harmonisch

7.7/10

Probiert als 2cl Sample, danke dafür an Mentalo fürs Gratis-Sample. An der Nase zunächst sehr verhalten. Hier lässt noch nichts auf >60% Fassstärke schließen. Eher auf der würzigen Seite mit Vanille, Nelke, Leder und weißen Weintrauben. Am Gaumen dann ein sehr umgängliches Profil. Für Venezuelanische Verhältnisse überdurchschnittlich, im internationalen Vergleich dann eher fallend. Dennoch ein sehr solider rum. Nachdem ich letztens den 2001er Fiji hatte muss ich sagen, ein recht ähnliches Profil dazu, nur etwas kantiger.

8.5/10

Farbe: Bernstein Geruch: Elegant - leicht fruchtig, cremig mit Toffee und weisser Schokolade. Zudem Aprikose. Etwas blumig. Geschmack: Zu Beginn Toffee und Schokolade, wird mit der Zeit würzig im Mund. Beim Schlucken würziger Toffee, Anis, Kümmel und Lakritze. Grasig mit unreifem grünem Gemüse. Abgang: Lang und würzig trocken mit Anis, Holzig scharf im Nachgeschmack, sehr trocken und leicht bitter. 85 Punkte

7.4/10

Nase: Alkohol kommt zu Beginn ordentlich zum Vorschein, gefolgt von Vanille und Zitrusfrüchte. Begleitet von Gewürzen wie Gewürznelken. Gaumen: scharfer Auftakt, während der Alkohol noch in die Nase zieht, ungewöhnliche Süße am Gaumen für eine Fassabfüllung. Malzige Noten von Whisky aber auch frische, kräuterige Aromen. Abgang: frisch, leicht holzig. Fazit: Etwas zu alkoholisch an der Nase um eine höhere Bewertung zu bekommen, im Geschmack aber ein angenehmes Profil aus Süße, Whisky und Kräutern.
