Aroma visualization from community tastings
A.A. Baker & Co. S.p.A. Australian Rum
Sipped neat, this is a strange one most tasters struggled with: cinnamon, plum and heavy vanilla over a perfumed, slightly musty base that several people found artificial. More than one reviewer said it reminded them of an old Don Papa. The 60% ABV stays oddly quiet, but the flavor leans candied and off, with anise poking through. A curiosity bottling, not an easy pour.

Letzter für heute, ja wirklich der letzte, echt jetzt 😃 Wahrscheinlich der letzte für heute und der ist riesiger Bullshit. Gerade so im trinkbaren Bereich, hau ab mit dem komischen Zeug, was solltest sein?
Review by zabo
Hab mir von dieser Abfüllung etwas mehr erwartet, aber irgendwie ist das nichts halbes und nichts ganzes. Leider überhaupt nicht mein Fall. Toll ihn mal probieren zu können, aber mehr auch nicht. Sorry
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Der Geruch nach kalter Kotze in einem Ambiente wie der Badarmaturenabteilung eines Baumarkts signalisiert mir, dass diese Spirituose für mich ungenießbar ist. Dran genippt, Geruchseindruck bestätigt, weggekippt. Man soll auf die Signale seines Körpers hören. 😉
Review by Michael Schillheim
Puuuh, den Rum kann ich nicht einschätzen oder anders ausgedrückt - was ist das? Erinnert mich irgendwie an Don Papa. Wenn ich etwas Positives über diesesn Rum sagen kann, dann ist es das, dass der Alkohol kaum spürbar ist.
Review by Johannes
Schmeckt leicht parfümiert, würzig, leicht muffig, Zimt, Vanillin. Im Abgang leider künstliche Aromen. Schon insgesamt gut eingebunden.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Puuuh, ich finde alten Kram ja immer spannend, aber hier habe ich das Gefühl, den Don Papa-Vorgänger vor mir zu haben. Künstlich parfümiert, winterlich, nach Zimt und Pflaume schmeckend und dazu eine Spur Muff. Das schmeckt mir so gar nicht!

Review by Richard Krupa
Tento vzorek mě příliš neoslovil, vanilková sladká vůně, v chuti cukrovinky, vanilka a sladké koření
Review by Pavel Spacek
OMF - that's weird. Not very sweetened, but full of anise...? And many flavors that don't remind me of anything...
