Tag 9 RumX Adventskalender: mein erster Gedanke war sofort Guyana, Uitvlugt und ja den kennst du. Mal kurz den 1997er The Rum Cask gegen getestet. Ja das isser... dachte ich... Vielleicht ist der TRC noch etwas geschmeidiger. Sonst sehr ähnlich und daher auch eine nahezu identische Punktzahl von mir.

RumX advent calendar 9.12.21: This time I have the Uitvlugt erkannt👏🏻🤪 Nose: initially restrained but with time it reveals a very diverse profile. A lot of lychee comes through in the mouth. Overall very fine, very complex and delicate. Perfect alcohol. What I like here is the sweetness, which rounds off the profile well. I found this a little lacking in the older representatives I've tasted so far.

RumX-Adventskalender, 9.12., blind, Erster Eindruck: salzig, Honig, BlackRock? Mitte 50%. Aber wenn man ihm Zeit lässt wird er immer besser und geht dann ganz klar in Richtung Uitvlugt. Nase: sehr fein, zuerst etwas flach, bekommt mit der Zeit eine schöne Tiefe, spricht für höheres Alter. Wirkt salzig und hat eine schöne Honig-Note, leicht Essig, etwas kräuterig und harzig mit einer speziellen Graphit-Note. An Frucht folgte ich Ananas und Birne. Gefällt mir schon. Gaumen: wieder salzig mit Jod, etwas gedämpft und wieder dieser ganz eigene Graphit-Geschmack, etwas Birne und Mandarine und wieder leicht harzig. Hinten kräuterig mit Kamille und ein Hauch Minze. Auch am Gaumen wird er mit der Zeit immer tiefer und komplexer… Nicht der beste Uit, aber nicht schlecht…

RumX-Adventskalender, 09.12.2021, blind. Im ersten Moment schwer definierbar. Kräutrig und süß, aber vor allem sehr dünn. Vielleicht Guyana. Nach etwas Zeit dann etwas sicherer: Guyana, Uitvlugt, mit einigen charakteristischen Noten. Kräutrig, Olive, holzig-harzig und salzig mit etwas Jod in der Nase, dazu eine Spur Graphit. Ähnliches Empfinden am Gaumen. Vorerst etwas dünn, der Alkohol wirkt nicht sehr gut eingebunden. Mit mehr Zeit im Glas jedoch immer besser. Der Alkohol verfliegt bzw. Wirkt sich immer mehr verstärkend auf die Aromen aus. Wohl ein Hinweis darauf, dass der Rum schon mindestens mal erwachsen ist. Nach gut einer Stunde im Glas richtig lecker. Nicht der beste Uitvlugt, aber durchaus gut trinkbar.
