A few Drops say. A good one, once again. :+1:

Hatte ein wenig typische Barbados Aromen herausgeschmeckt, dann kam aber Klebstoff. Aus dem leeren Glas strömten Jamaica Noten in die Luft. Crazy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

An der Nase viele rote Früchte: Sauerkirsche, Trauben/Rotwein ebenfalls Rosine und Pflaume. Trockenes Holz, Gewürze und eine deutliche Süße. So, das passt jetzt aber leider auf viele Rums.
Typisch Jamaica (high ester) denke ich eher nicht. Könnte ein Worthy Park mit Cask Finish (Madeira) sein. Vlt auch mal Venezuela.

Ich werf einfach mal Diamond in den Raum, evtl. mit nem leichten Sherry finish.
Aber hab nicht wirklich nen Plan.

Bright caramel color

Nose: initial bouquet made of wood, vanilla and a peppery note. Then I get a punchy hint of glue, well hidden by the woody notes…but there’s also a fruity note that I’m having some difficult to discern…I would guess dark fruits/ berries…but unsure…

Palate: very warm, mildly astringent, with a touch of esters and funkiness to it, that develops into a fruity mid palate of pineapple and bananas strangely coupled with red grapes and plums

Finish: woody, raisins and some sweet spices(vanilla, aniseed or sweet licorice).

ABV might be around 54/56%.

The nose profile recalls Guyanese rums, while the palate is more likely a Jamaican…Quoting @tojo , this could really be a Jamaican rum with some “exotic” finish :slight_smile:

Oh and BTW…I’m LOVING this 1920s Master Blender glasses for tasting :heart:

I honestly could not make an educated guess. Sometimes it’s better to shut up if you don’t have anything useful to say :zipper_mouth_face::sweat_smile:
It’s pretty damn good though.

So THIS is the reason why Monymusk is so controversial amongst the community :rofl: this one I find it a really interesting bottle, however!

This one got good reviews, as well. Got the island right, but did have doubts, as this tasted hot, fruity and sweet.

Ich habe gerade mal meine Flasche gegen probiert! Und muss feststellen, dass er da viel intensiver in den Aromen ist , schon verrückt!
Bislang klasse Proben in dem Kalender! :+1:t2::+1:t2:
