Review by cigares
Tasting at J. B. Labat. Like a vegetable pastry on the nose! Herbs and tropical fruits, vanilla. The palate is marked by vegetal bitterness, like an Italian Amaro. But also delicate floral and fruity notes. A noble bitterness accompanies the entire tasting experience. The finish is long, elegant and complex. The discreet wood appears with elegance. A beautiful, expressive finish and perfect integration of the alcohol. A delicious rum.

#4667 23.03.2024 Relaxing at home after picking up two sets of online tasting in Flensburg. At the same time planning what to bring to Blåvand when I visit a fellow RumX from Germany. Nose Light roasted wood, faint smoke, fruits, light herbs, faint glue, grass, balanced. Palate Balanced, wood, light roasted, Agricole, fruits, light glue, faint smoke, light earthy. Finish Medium long, wood, dried fruit, grass. The empty glass has some tobacco and faint caramel notes.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Absolt spezielles Profil, dass ich so noch nicht hatte. Lohnt sich definitiv mal zu probiere. Die eher erdigen Komponenten sind hier absolut im Vordergrund. Es schmeckt nach Zedernholz, Tannennadeln und wie eine holzige Zigarrenschachtel. Hatte zudem den Geschmack von Plasitk und Knettmasse. Zu Beginn fordert das Profil einem kurz, Alkoholintegration ist sehr gut, die 65% sind wenig bemerkbar. Macht sehr viel Spass zu erkunden.
Review by DomM
Nose is an bit to dump and grasy for my personal taste, but in the palate this bottling is extremly nice. High intensity, loads of fruits and and agricole notes.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Blind probiert, mein erster Eindruck war Martinique! Frisch und jung, sehr grasig, dazu ein paar frische Ester in Richtung Zitrus. Hinten raus dann auch etwas sauer, das mich durchaus etwas stört. Nach einigem Schnüffeln und Probieren war ich unsicher, wohin ich ihn stecken soll, da die saure Fruchtigkeit doch sehr dominant ist. Nach der Auflösung ergibt es aber durchaus Sinn, denn bei La Favorite habe ich schon öfter solche Zitrusnoten entdeckt. Hier sind sie mir aber einfach eine Spur zu stark. Trotzdem eine spannende Abfüllung, dem ich insbesondere den Alkoholgehalt gar nicht so zugetraut hätte!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leider nicht mein Fall, tolle Nase nach Tropenfrüchten aber auch sehr viel Holz, Klebstoff und geschmacklich einfach sehr bitter, adstringierend und säuerlich metallisch. Insbesondere Modrig und holzig "nass".
