Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
The 88 points I awarded it years ago are now impressively confirmed when I taste it again. A true explosion of flavor! Liquid licorice. It's amazing that this rum only cost around EUR 60 when it was released. For me, this rum from my early days is and remains an icon.

04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. Very nice and well balanced Diamond. Medium fruity with nice roasted wood notes and a spicy palate. The finish is long with some chocolate. Love the menthol in the profile.
Review by Christoph H.
I love this rum! Admittedly, especially in the nose are missing big surprises. Mainly woody and spicy and rather unround, but by no means unpleasant. As it lingers longer, it becomes more pleasant and warmerIn the mouth, this is top notch for me. A very honeyed, oily and powerful attack. Very round compared to the nose. Melts on the tongue like melted chocolate. Absolutely recommended to buy. Several bottles spiked 🤙
Review by Basti
Das war mal eine angenehme Überraschung. Der Rum ist mehr auf der dunklen/röstigen Seite mit Lakritz, Malz, Holz, Leder, Gewürzen und etwas Dörrpflaume. Alkohol top eingebunden und hervorragendes PLV.
Review by Frank
In der Nase kommt er schön würzig rüber mit einer sehr deutlichen Sherry-Note. Geschwefelte und getrocknete Aprikose und Honig-Süße. Der Alkohol ist am Anfang etwas schneidend, gibt sich danach aber gut eingebunden. Lakritz und ein Hauch Minze kommen hinzu sowie Leder und und etwas Tabak. Intensiv und komplex am Gaumen. Auch hier wieder deutlich dass Sherry-Fass. An Frucht dominiert nun Pflaume, Dörrpflaume. Leicht pfeffrig und doch karamellig-süß. Leicht bitter-salzig hinten raus mit einem Hauch Minze. Bin zwar nicht mehr so der Freund von Sherry-Ausbau, aber der hier ist ein guter!
Review by woisit
In der Nase eher zurückhaltend, nasses Holz, angebranntes Karamell. Leicht süßer karameliger Antritt, der aber schnell von bitterem und adstringentem Holz abgelöst wird. Kein schöner Abgang, ziemlich unharmonischer Rum.
Review by Alex Kunath
Generell ein eher spezieller aber kein schlechter Rum. Nur ist der Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden.
Review by Gregor
Sehr intensiver und schwerer diamond. Mit starken tönen von sherry und Rosine. Mir ein klein wenig zu stark vom Alkohol.
Review by Jakob
Das Finish tut dem Rum gut, die schwere Süsse balanciert die herb-würzigen Noten und alkoholische Schärfe recht gelungen aus. Solider Diamond, der dank dem Süsswein-Einfluss zusätzlichen Reiz erhält.
Review by Christina L.
#keinprofi Starke Töne von Rosine und Backpflaume in der Nase und am Gaumen, später auch holzige Töne und die deutliche Unterschrift des Sherryfasses. Der Alkoholgehalt dieses Rums ist für meinen Geschmack zu hoch, bzw. nicht harmonisch eingebunden.
Review by Oliver
Wow, what a density of aromas - great nose! A real sherry bomb. Really drinkable, but for me personally almost a little too sweet at the end.
