Emperor Private Collection Château Pape Clément

Brown sugar, molasses and juicy dried plum lead here, with caramel, vanilla and a surprising smoky, faintly agricole edge underneath. Members call it soft and round, "a bit on the sweet side" but more layered than the 42% suggests. One taster picked out prunes and coffee-roast notes. Easy sipping, though a few found the finish a touch thin and short.

Oh wow, bei der Prozentzahl hatte ich nicht viel erwartet, aber ein top Rum :-) Leicht süsse Note Richtung Karamell und Vanille, aber das schmecke ich ja meistens :-). Egal, dieser ist zu empfehlen, lecker.

A nice and fruity rum. A bit on the sweet side and very soft yet complex on the palate. Draws nice curtains in the glass and has nice flavours in the empty glass.

In der Nase mäßig brauner Zucker und Melasse mit einem feinen Agricole-Aroma. Der Geschmack hat einen stärkeren Agricole-Geschmack mit braunem Zucker und Melasse-Süße. Der Abgang ist mittelstark mit braunem Zucker und Melasse. Sehr weich, aber auch einzigartig.

Good rum for beginners. Beautiful dark roast aromas. Unfortunately, a bit thin and weak in the finish.

Bardzo ciekawy rum. Minus to cena ale na tle rumów z tej półki cenowej mimo wszystko wart kupienia. Wyróżniający się pod względem gładkości picia.

On The Rocks: On the nose a moderate brown sugar and molasses with a feint Agricole aroma. Taste has a stronger Agricole taste with brown sugar and molasses sweetness. Finish is medium with the brown sugar and molasses continuing. Very smooth but also unique for Emperor. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Pepsi zero with a slight sweetness and some molasses. Taste is delicious with a sweet Pepsi and Molasses mix. Finish is short but the taste is overall quite nice. Would be a waste to drink mixed at this price though.
