Peter Affenzeller RuMonkey
The handful of ratings so far run warm, with one honest sticking point: the nose. Several tasters flag it as flowery and oddly synthetic up front, then say it wins you back on the palate — vanilla, plum, a touch of wood, a little sweetness and almost no bite at 40%. One member reads clear Austrian plum (Zwetschke) through it. An unusual, locally-distilled pour that tastes better than it smells.
The community says- Soft vanilla palate
- Round, no bite
- Keep in mind: Synthetic nose

How does Peter Affenzeller RuMonkey taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Odd synthetic nose, round vanilla-plum palate Still only a handful of ratings, but the ones here agree: the nose is strangely artificial, the palate makes up for it — round, soft, with a vanilla-and-plum finish most found genuinely good.

Fruity on the nose, clearly *Austrian* damson plum, light sweetness, no sharpness, no off-notes. Feels very rounded. On the palate, initially a slight sharpness, spice, and fruit, then wood, and later the sweet damson plum (plum) dominates. Very unusual taste, in my opinion very good with great aroma variety and a wonderful finish.

This whisky-specialized distillery is 7km from my parents' house in northern Upper Austria. Let's see. Floral, artificial, fruity on the nose. After this unorthodox start, it gains a lot in the mouth. Considering the 40%, surprisingly much body, now it also tastes good. Nice finish. Expectations were not too high and apart from the strange, artificial nose, it's a good rum, skillfully made.

Hard for me to describe. Pleasant in smell and taste, slight sharpness and sweetness. No unnecessary additives or exaggerated flavor notes, kept simple and that’s why so good and successful.
