Lots of rich black treacle molasses with a notable hit of oaky vanilla goodness.

Surprisingly good in my opinion. Must rate it better than the rest of the community. Tastes very spicy and slightly woody, but it goes down my throat well. Can also be drunk neat and not just with cola ;-)

6:The nose opens with the rather sweet, gourmand side of a Jamaican rum, made of banana and a drop of resin.Then we get pepper, coconut and orange seem to lead us towards Barbados, while mingled wood and walnuts would guide us more towards Guyana. Plum and other black fruit tannins spice things up a bit, as does the slightly dreadnought, metallic leaning that follows. The profile is rich but rather rough, like a typical navy rum.Aeration rounds out the edges, while caramel, molasses and licorice round out the woodiness. A surprising touch of cane juice or honey enriches the nose considerably. It continues to become more complex, with spices, vegetal notes and walnuts that give it a slightly oxidized aperitif wine feel. The rum becomes softer, less rough. The oak is more mellow, spreading out into nuts and cocoa. 5,5:The palate is soft on entry, revealing a sweet, juicy fruitiness that had been on the back burner until now. Molasses and wood then mingle in a smoother ambience, leading on to coffee and toasted nuts. All these notes remain light and well-balanced, until the toastiness takes over and swarms the taste buds. 5:On the finish, the same dark, roasted notes persist, with black coffee and roasted nuts.

It has its own sweet note of cocoa and others of roasted, forest and spices, not as bad as it sounds

This rum has nothing to do with the Captain Morgan that I got as a sample from TheDunderhut. I also got another bottle of the Captain, when it was still distilled in Jamaica, here in the forum for a split. The taste is worlds apart, although the original bottling is unfortunately not a unicorn either.

No sugar. That's already a positive. Strong tones of wood and roasted notes. Unfortunately a little medicinal in both smell and taste. But I thought it would be much worse. But solid for mixing. Although there are better ones

Blind verkostest: Das Zeug genau gibt es hier im Urlaub, Havanna wäre mir lieber. Adhoc in der Nase denkt man noch, könnte ein sehr einfacher Rum aus Guyana sein El Dorado 3 oder sowas aber dann kommt etwas das eher nach Old Monk schmeckt. Wird mir selbst in der Cola zu süß/komisch.
