Flensburg Rum Company Platypus Edition 2025
Anyone easing into rum will find this a gentle, easy pour at 43%: fruity nose, then wood, walnut and a touch of caramel on the palate, with a bitter oaky finish. A few tasters caught mint and forest berries. Several found it a little thin and watery for the strength, though — pleasant and drinkable rather than memorable, and not the sherry-cask depth some expected.

Easy, woody-nutty daily sipper, a touch thin Most call it an honest, easy daily sipper — nutty, woody, lightly fruity. The recurring gripe is that it tastes watery and a bit basic for the ABV.

#5548 11.10.2025 Visiting the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 event. It was the first of its kind and went off pretty well. They still have to learn a lot about running an event like this. People were allowed to bring backpacks and even cabin bags to the event and that is a problem in my mind. This one wasn't really me. A light slightly unbalanced Australia in my mind. Fruity with a floral touch mixing with some nuts and chocolate.

Australia Advent Calendar 2025 (6.1). Un nez plutôt doux de fruits secs, de fruits jaunes, de végétal, floral et légèrement fermenté. La bouche est douce, presque sucrée, diluée. Puis les arômes montent un peu avec des arômes gourmands de caramel au beurre, d’abricots secs et d’huile de coco. L’alcool paraît très léger. La finale est moyennement longue avec le boisé amer et l’huile de noix de coco qui restent longtemps. Un

Australia Artur Advent Calendar 2025 (6.1) Dieser Rum ist auf der hellfruchtigen Seite mit einem bitteren holzigen Aroma im Abgang unterwegs. Intensiv auf der Zunge und zugleich wirkt er verwässert. 46% abv tipp: 12 Jahre Sherry finish

Arturs Adventskalender Australien #6.1: Am Anfang war ich sehr unschlüssig. Keine schlechte Nase, aber fast unbestimmbare fruchtige und leicht würzige Aromen. Alkohol hat nicht zu spüren. Ab dem Gaumen dann keine Frucht mehr; nur Holz und Süße

Review by David Riek
Pleasant daily sipper. Also good for beginners, very pleasant to drink at 43%. Good value for money. Fruity and pleasant on the nose, with slight traces of mint and wild berries on the palate.
