Flensburg Rum Company Barbados & Jamaica

One member called it an "astonishingly mild rum" that goes down easy with people who don't usually drink spirits, and that sums it up. Expect banana, raisin and a little pineapple with a light ester lift, all wrapped in obvious sweetness. Several tasters found it pleasant but watered-down at 40% — nice aromas, thin follow-through. An easy entry-level Barbados-Jamaica blend.

Astonishingly mild rum. Still tasty and very good drink with non-spirits people

7.2/10

Knowing my Barbadian rums I started by resting this one for 15 minutes so that it could release all its flavours. Clearly a Bajan rum but slightly modified and I like it. Sweet and spicy at the same time with fruits and a hint of the barrel. Would have loved it to be older and with a higher ABV (50% as a minimum).

In der Nase recht zurückhaltend. Leicht frisch und zitronig, aber aber irgendwie auch grün und pflanzlich. Eine leicht Würze von bereits ausgedunstetem Tabak. Würzig und kräuterig, leider auch etwas verwässert und dünn. Ganz leichte Ester-Noten, aber mehr grüner Tee und ein Hauch Schokolade. Im Abgang bleibt etwas, was mich an grüne Blätter erinnert. Einstiegstum, für mich zwar zu dünn, hat aber ein gutes Aromenspiel...

Sehr schöner angenehmer Geruch. Jedoch im Geschmack zu süß und zu verdünnt.

Ein Einsteigerrum! Der Hampdenanteil überwiegt! Für zwischendurch ganz okay
