Penninger Graphit

Opinions land all over the place on this Bavarian-blended Caribbean bottle. Some taste a clean, harmonious blend that moves from sweet to spice to fine ester notes; others find it watered-down and thin at 42%, or just "alkoholisches Zuckersirup." Expect apple, pear, a touch of ester and light oak, with a peppery finish. Interesting experiment, but no one calls it big.

The community says
  • Fruity, apple-pear notes
  • Light ester character
  • Feels watered-down

Von Stefan Penninger V. (ja, die Penningers machen die Stefans in Batches) erwarte ich keinerlei Ausfälle beim Brennen - und hier auch nicht beim Blenden. Die Nase ist fruchtig, wuchtig und estrig. Zumindest für die recht deutsch angesetzten 42%. Das setzt sich dann auch im Mund fort. Fokus in der Mischung klar auf schwere Noten - trotzdem schafft man die Grätsche den deutschen Gaumen nicht zu vergraulen. Klasse für das was er ist!

Ja so ist das halt. Ein ganz normaler Rum von Martinique. Schmeckt wie die anderen auch. Bißchen Zitrone und Holz uns das wars. Das beschreibt meinen Eindruck eigentlich ganz gut. Gute Nacht Düsseldorf

Hatte den im Urlaub entdeckt und nicht viel erwartet; um so größer war die Überraschung. Wirklich gelungener Blend der einen von anfänglicher süßer über Würze bis zu feinen Esternoten führt.

Viel jamaikaanteil. Sauber und harmonisch. Leider zu wenig Prozente.

Ohne große Ecken und Kanten, aber als easy sipper zur Zigarrenbegleitung im Allgäu-Urlaub ok.

Sehr unauffällige Nase, bisschen Ester und Alkohol. Im Geschmack überwiegend scharf, von den weiteren Aromen sehr dünn. Alkohol schlecht eingebunden. Bisschen Ester, bisschen Ananas. An Weihnachten um die Schwiegermutter aus dem Haus zu ekeln…

Irgendwie nicht schlecht aber eben überhaupt nichts besonderes. Extrem verwässert und alle Geschmacksnuancen abgeschwächt. Als Anfänger Rum aber durchaus zu gebrauchen.

5.1/10

Da ich Penninger so ein schlechtes Produkt nicht zugetraut habe, habe ich nachgetestet, diesmal keine Probe, sondern ein wenig aus einer Flasche: Besser, immer noch nicht mein Geschmack, immer noch zu süß, aber wenigstens trinkbar und sicher etwas für Baroko-Fans. Nachfolgend meine alte Einschätzung: 3.4 Sorry, aber für mich war es alkoholisches Zuckersirup. Minimal waren Gewürze/Kräuter zu erahnen
