Whistler Master Solera (24 Days Of Rum Advent Calendar)
People really can't agree on this South African advent-calendar pour. Some taste ripe banana, dried raisin and a soft port-cask spice and find it pleasant; others get a grainy, whisky-blend character and call it thin or "a bit superficial." Expect banana, dried fruit and a light woody-spicy edge at 46%, with a short finish that fades fast.
The community says- Ripe banana note
- But: Short finish
- But: Whisky-blend feel

How does Whistler Master Solera (24 Days Of Rum Advent Calendar) taste?
Aggregated from 94 community reviews.
Divisive banana-and-raisin advent pour Genuinely divisive. Fans like the banana, dried fruit and port-cask spice; skeptics find it whisky-blend-like, thin and short-finished. Most land around average, not memorable.

Review by Lutz Lungershausen
24 Days of Rum, Blue Edition, Day 21 Sehr reiches, fruchtig-würziges Bukett, das sich aus der zweiten Lagerung in Portwein-Fässern ergibt. Der sorgt übrigens auch für den leicht rötlichen Farbstich. Mir gefällt diese Kombination gut, schließlich mag ich beides: Port und Rum. Allerdings verfliegt der erste reiche Eindruck in der Nase zügig und es bleibt nach ca. 10 Minuten vor allem der Port und seine Hefe im Glas. Am Gaumen sorgt auch wieder der Port für den weichen, würzigen Eindruck, der sich im Abgang fortsetzt.
Review by rum_sk
It is similar to Jamaican rums only like it's diluted mild version. It reminds me of a Jamaican funky rum by 60%. It holds the funkiness that is characterstical of Jamaican rum, with spiciness, burnt sugar and sort of a freshness. Medium long finish. Definitely one of the more interesting rums in 2022 advent calendar. Retasting the sample from 2024 calendar by 1423 and 👃 is not very pleasant I am catching some wine aromas and wood and hint of agricole. 👅 is better, similar to jamaican rums as previously stated. A bit sharp and spicy with hint of vanilla in the finish.
Review by benoit burger
Spicy, fruity nose of banana, prune and raisin. On the palate, it is slightly woody, spicy (especially the liquorice stick) and honeyed. The length is very short. A rum that does not showcase South Africa.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.24 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Dried raisins and sweet on the nose, some alcoholic sting to it but at 46% abv that is expected. Palate has same notes of dried fruit with ripe banana in the end. The fermented/funky I’m guessing comes from it beeing pot stilled and the flavours get more intense. Woody and banana after the sip.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Secret South African distillery. Only one I know is Mhoba (goood!!!). This is not Mhoba. Smells like a whisky blend. A tad grainy. Sweets. A bit superficial. Not a big fan. Taste: blended whisky still. Dry/tannins. Wood. A bit smoky. Cheap. It taste cheap. Not too bad though but unbalanced. Not a fan.
Review by Rumpalumpa
What an interesting rum: from a former English colony, but reminiscent of Agricole notes and then still matured in the Solera process? well, the result is not bad but not overwhelming either. slightly fruity, herbal and clear molasses
Review by Emanuel S
This rum is weird. It smells/taste like a scotch whisky of low quality. To me, it does not know what it is. And does non of the spirits justice. I would spend my money elsewhere.
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
Tento rum mi přišel zajímavější ve vuni než v chuti. Ve vuni mi dominují ovocné tóny banánu a citrusů a slibuji sladkost. V chuti je něco hraveho a potvrzuje se tropické ovoce. Zároveň by mu slušela trochu vyšší voltaz. Celkově mi prijde dost jemný
Review by TheJackDrop
"Good discovery In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Raisins, Banana On the palate: Sweet, Tropical fruit Finish: Spicy, Banana". I think South Africa is really going to bring us great things
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Time to finish up 1423's "24 days of Christmas" (the blue edition). The rum from day 21 is from Africa. It has a malty whisky-like nose to me. In the notes I'm getting interesting hints of wine, fruits and a rather long malty finish
Review by Robert Houba
Ostřejší, solera, alkoholové vůně,
Review by Martin Ekrt
Na jednu stranu docela zajímavý kousek. Hodně ovocný, do citrusů, osobitý, ale na druhou stranu působí i lacině alkoholově s náznakem něčeho umělého. Málokterý rum mě nechá takto rozpolceného. Chutná, nechutná, fakt nevím 😃
Review by Timo Groeger
For me, again clearly better than what the community thinks. Tastes slightly fruity and woody to me, but very tasty. Also has more like the standardized 40% :) e A normal rum, suitable for beginners.
Review by Michael Janek
24 rums 2022 vůně velmi výrazná, sladké ovoce, banán, ananas, jabko chuť ovocná, nejdřív jemná, pak docela ostrá, cítím něco jako jádra z jablek vůně 4/5 chuť 3,5/5

Almost like an agricole, harsh
Review by MJ72
Fruchtiges Aroma, Birne vordergründig mit würzigen Noten. Mild und cremig, dunkles Caramell mit der Frucht vom Geruch. Im Abgang kommt Holz nach.
Review by Rado Vito
Nice sweet and fine rum from different finish casks. Very nice blend with tastes of port, spice and honey. Easily drinkable.
