Kesselherz Louis Santo Single Rum 2001
A solid stepping stone for drinkers moving from sweet Dominican rums to something drier and spicier. Expect dried fruit, caramel and nutty tobacco on the nose, with coffee, dark chocolate and fruitcake on the palate. Smooth 44% ABV makes it easy to sip, while the oak and light bitterness give it a more “grown-up” profile. Limited 18-year single rum, appreciated by some but polarizing overall on RumX.
- Smooth mouthfeel
- Dark chocolate tones
- Dried fruit aroma

Smooth, dark-chocolate Dominican sipper A solid stepping stone for drinkers moving from sweet Dominican rums to something drier and spicier.

Those moving from sweet Spanish-style rums toward drier, oakier sippers who enjoy chocolate, coffee and dried fruit notes at an easy 44% ABV.
Drinkers seeking very sweet, dessert-like rums or perfectly rounded premium sippers; anyone sensitive to light bitterness or wood-driven dryness.

Review by Alex1981
Zunächst etwas schatf an der Nase, wird dann süßer. Am Gaumen eher mild, mit Kaffee, Kokos & Karamell Süße. Hintenraus eher holzig & scharf, insgesamt eher unrund. Nicht so ganz mein Fall, höchstens zusammen mit Kuchen o.ä.
Review by Martin Spooner
Intensiv würzig. Angenehm süßlich im Geruch. Im Geschmack Honig, Peffrig mit früchten. Im Abgang trocken mit Holz und Lakritz. Sehr angenehm. Der beste des tasting abends. Vielleicht echt ein Geheimtipp.
Review by Boletus
Ein runder und süffiger Rum, der trotz seiner niedrigen Alkoholstärke ein vollmundig schokoladiges Trinkerlebnis bietet, allerdings nach dem Auftakt im Mund seine Fruchtigkeit verliert. Aufgrund der ein wenig eingestaubt und antik wirkenden Eiche kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass hier auch alte Sherryfässer bei der Grundreifung verwendet wurden. Gerne würde ich diesen Rum in Fassstärke probieren!
Review by R Wehner
Nase schön, Zuckerrohrrum, Zunge agricole, würzig, aber auch hier (wie beim 12er) irgendeine Fehl- bzw Bitternote, schade, aber diese Reihe spricht mich gar nicht an
