AP Liquid Pearls Bourbon & Oloroso Sherry Cask 2010
"Not bad, not great" is one honest take, but most tasters land a notch higher. The oloroso cask runs the show here — prunes, cherry, milk chocolate and coffee, with the added dosage smoothing the hard edges off a cask-strength Dominican. That sweetness is the trade: it drinks easy for 61.8% but flattens the complexity. Creamy, roasted, and a little smoky on the finish.

How does AP Liquid Pearls Bourbon & Oloroso Sherry Cask 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Sweet oloroso-cask sipper, easy despite the proof Well-liked as an easy sherried sipper that hides its proof. The recurring catch: the dosage smooths it out but leaves it one-dimensional, so complexity chasers stay lukewarm.

Review by Dr.Django
Sehr neugierig erweckende Eckdaten. Für mich ist dieser Rum eine absolut positive überraschung! Fett süß-rotfruchtig, mundfüllend, Vanillekaffee mit Milch, cremig am Gaumen. der Alkohol ist super integriert. der Abgang mittellang bis lang und warm schokoladig süß. Der Fasseinfluss ist hier deutlich rauszuschmecken und an der sehr dunklen Farbe gut zu sehen. Besonders interessant finde ich eine rauchige Aschenote, die die gesamte Verkostung von der nase bis zum abgang begleitet. Erinnert mich vom Aromenprofil aufgrund dieser Rauchnote aus dem Kopf heraus ganz entfernt an den Dictador Cadenheads CS 1993. Lecker! Vielen Dank für das Sample @Leo
Review by Skyfly
Nette Überraschung eines für mich neuen Abfüllers. In der Nase bemerkt man bereits den starken Einfluss des Olorosso-Fasses; daneben Trockenfrüchte, Karamell und Gewürze. Im Gaumen und Abgang kommen noch Kaffeearomen dazu. Alkohol nicht perfekt eingebunden, aber nicht größer störend.
Review by Leo Krüper
Gefällt mir sehr gut. Sehr süffiges Teil, auch die Süße kommt dezent rüber. Erinnert mich an die guten Arturo Makasare von Corman Collins. Für den Preis ein sehr schöner Rum mit 12 Jahren tropischer Reifung. Ein Komplexitätsmonster ist das bei dem starken Sherry-Einfluss natürlich nicht.
Review by Johannes
Das Oloroso-Finish ist schon deutlich präsent, aber der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Insgesamt süffig und sehr gut trinkbar.
Review by Buddudharma
Verkostung Village25: Für DomRep-Verhältnisse schon richtig gut, würde mir davon trotzdem nie eine Flasche für zu Hause kaufen, dafür ist er dann doch zu eindimensional und uncharakteristisch. Etwas Dosage ist glaube ich auch drin…
