Findlater & Mackie of Manchester Ltd. Finest Kosher Rum 1970s
Roasted almonds and burnt caramel run the whole show here — a dark, full-bodied 1970s bottling that tasters place squarely in Demerara/navy-blend territory. The nose is intense but a touch one-note; several members find it opens up and balances better on the palate, with dried fruit and cocoa towards a medium finish. A few suspect the deep color and sweetness are heavily helped along.

Dark, roasty old rum with caramel and almonds A rare old bottling most tasters enjoyed as a piece of history — dark and roasty, if short on complexity. One reviewer flags the color and aromas as heavily tuned.

Weird and Blind tasting @Artur: Another piece of history! Molasses and caramel clearly dominate. Nice sweetness, surprisingly complex, reminds me of a navy blend.

Zu allererst einmal ein DICKES DANKESCHÖN an TheDunderHut, wieder bei dem Wird&Blind Set dabei gewesen zu sein. Zusammen mit DomM wurde sich dieser Aufgabe gestellt. Leider kein Einhorn dabei gewesen, aber tolle rare Sachen probiert, an die man sonst nicht so gut rankommt. Einzig die Geschichten zu jeden einzelnen Rum des Spliters dazu habe ich wirklich vermisst zu.
Review by Thunderbird
Eine seltene bzw auch alte Abfüllung die in der röstigen, holzigen und gebrannten Karamellseite beheimatet ist. Kein Überflieger, aber durchaus interessant und schön, mal so etwas im Glas gehabt zu haben.
Review by Fuwi
Weird and blind Tasting - die Farbe kann unmöglich von der Lagerung stammen. Die erste Nase kommt wie der Versuch rüber, einen Foursquare ECS nachbauen zu wollen mit dem Chemiekasten der Kinder. Übertriebene, künstliche Süße, zu gefällige Farbe - aber unterm Strich schmeckt er so einigermaßen ok. Auch wenn das Produkt sehr heftig getunt worden ist in Farbe und Aromen.
Review by DomM
On the nose there is a lot of burnt caramel. Very dark and intense. Lacks complexity unfortunately. I like it more on the palate. Here we are in dark Demerara territory. Again, a very dark profile but much better balanced than the nose. Some dried fruits towards the finish.
