Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, dried fruits like raisins, apricots and bananas, red fruits with cherries, mineral and minty molasses, metallic patina, solvents, sweet roasted wood notes with caramelized burnt sugar, spicy, some dirty undertones, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, citrus fruits arise, smokiness and roastedness with nuts, espresso and chocolate. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is metallic with copper, slightly synthetic, sweet, buttery and oily with roasted wood notes like chocolate, confectionery with cookie dough, meringue, caramelized burnt sugar, spicy with baking spices, fruity with dried and tropical fruits like banana, raisins, a bit later with pears. 8,3:The finish is rather long, dry, the molasses is thick, caramelized, sweet with honey, pairing dried fruits and roasted wood notes, spicy. Edit:7.2.26

Brought down by a sharp mouthfeel and more than few off notes (metallic, industrial)

Nose Sweet, intense, metallic, light mint, light cherry, spice, dried fruit, wood, light smoke. Palate Round, oily, warm, medium spicy, dried fruit, light mint, naturally sweet, faint chocolate, light plum, wood, light roasted, faint smoke. Finish Long and warm, medium spicy, naturally sweet, dried fruit, light chocolate, spice, oily, wood, The empty glass has nice caramel, light herbs and prunes. Needs to rest to really open up. Surprisingly good rum considering the price tag.
Review by Serge
Gut trinkbarer Rum … etwas süßlich. Es lassen sich für mich Guyana Anteile rausschmecken. Trockenfrüchte, etwas Lakritze. Kann man gut trinken, ein guter einfacher Rum, der meiner Meinung nach etwas nachgesüßt wurde.
Review by Jakob
Ansprechendes Cadenheads-Release mit viel Toffee-Süsse flankiert von trockenen Tropenfruchtnoten, Gewürzen, Holzeinflüssen und Vanillezucker. Zugänglicher, süffiger Rum, der viel Potenzial als daily sipper hat.

Eine Abfüllung, die leider an diesem epischen Abend nicht ganz mithalten konnte, nicht ganz und gar schlecht, aber zu dem Zeug was wir sonst im Glas hatten, war er schon etwas mehr entfernt. Wie bei allen Cadenheads wirkt er ein wenig dünn.
Review by Johannes
Alkohol ist relativ gut eingebunden. Ich schmecke dunkles Guyana-Profil mit viel Melasse und Jamaika worthy Park.
Review by M. Mark
Ak začnem kritikou, tak na 56.6% pôsobí veľmi tenko. Vonia príjemne sladko, po sušenom ovocí, hrozienkach, melase, vanilke, koreniach na pečenie. V chuti sa objaví sladkosť, sušené ovocie, vanilka, korenia na pečenie. Alkohol je dobre integrovaný. Dochuť je stredne dlhá. Celkovo dobre spracovaný základný rum. Môj bol naflašovaný 05.11.2018. If I'm being critical at the very beginning, at 56.6 ABV, it's tastes very thin. It's smell pleasant, sweet, of dried fruit, raisins, molasses, vanilla and baking spices. Sweetness, dried fruit, raisins, vanilla, baking spices appears in the taste. Alcohol is integrated well. The aftertaste is medium long. Overall, it's well-crafted basic blended rum. My batch was bottled on November 5, 2018
Review by Fuwi
Tasting in Blåvand mit der Legende! Toller Rum, sehr warm und intensiv mit Aromen von Rosinen, Pflaume und Gewürzen. Erinnert mich an eine Weihnachts-Abfüllung eines Whiskys, mit 68% ordentlich Bums aber ohne die Schärfe, sehr gut eingebunden und ausgebaut! Danke @kevin für das Sample!

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"I think this rum is pretty spectacular and until I find something better I'm pretty happy to give this 5 stars. I suspect you could spend a lot, lot more and not find a better Demerara. Yes I know this isn't a Single Cask offering but taken at face value..."Read full review →
