TRC Blended West Indies Single Cask Rum (Peated PX Sherry Cask) 2016
"I love peated whisky, I love WIRD rum. But this is weired" — one member sums up the whole debate. This is a Barbados single cask finished in peated PX sherry casks, and the peat runs the show: smoke, tar and sweet sherry pile on top until the rum underneath more or less disappears. At 65.8% the alcohol is startlingly well hidden. A genuine splitter.

- Peat covers all
- Barely reads as rum

Review by zabo
Vorab, ich stehe weder auf diesen west indies style noch auf peated Whisky finishes und normalerweise fallen die bei mir mit ach und krach durch. Aber hier obwohl es überhaupt nicht mein Fall ist, harmonieren diese beiden Welten. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden und als Mixer doch wider erwarten gar nicht mal so schlecht. Der Preis mehr als fair. Ein Spalterrum, der Whisky guys auf die richtige Seite ziehen könnte
Review by Timo Groeger
Ne dann kann ich leider echt nicht allzuviel mit anfangen. Diese oeated Dinger sind nicht so meins. Auf jeden Fall sind hier Rrauch, Torf und Whisky erkennbar. Alkohol allerdings recht gut eingebunden, wird vielleicht durch das rauchige übertüncht...
Review by Johannes
Puh, leider kann ich mit den peated Rums immer nichts anfangen. Die torfigen Noten überdecken einfach alles. Schade.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Vorweg: wer auf Sherry süß und Torfrauch steht, wird hier gut bedient. Dass allerdings Rum hier die Grundlage bildet (und nicht Whisky), ist geschmacklich kaum erkennbar. Als „Rum“ daher aus meiner Sicht völliger Unsinn: Erst macht der süße PX Sherry alles geschmacklich platt, dann kommt der Torfrauch drauf.
Review by F.L.O.
Netter Cross over ohne Tiefe oder Überraschung. Aber die Mixtur aus Rum und Rauch gefällt mir. Der Alkohol ist brutal gut eingebunden, unfassbar dass das Teil soviel ABV hat. Und bei dem Preis macht man null falsch
