Quorhum Cask Strength 30-Year rum
Quorhum Cask Strength 30-Year review posted 29 days ago by Edwg1967 🇨🇦 | 17 ratings

Bought this rum on a trip to Andorra and could not wait to try. Well worth the wait. Very smooth and plenty of flavours. More time to truly appreciate the taste. The price was reasonable

A. H. Riise Non Plus Ultra Very Rare review posted 30 days ago by Nonkel Danny 🇧🇪 | 27 ratings

Een mooie mahoniehouten kleur. De smaak van de eiken vaten is duidelijk. Een rijke maar toch vrij zoete smaak met een lange kruidige afdronk.

Strong molasses smell, but less of the flavor straight and more of a burn than I would like. When mixed, the molasses really comes out.

I liked it straight. A bit of the sherry flavor, but strong afterburn. Not as big a fan mixed.

Came across this one at a random market.  Nothing special, nothing terrible.  A little sweet straight, but not much stood out.  Mixed - meh

My rating is for sipping it and I do not consider price in my rating. That said this rum is much more interesting to me when used in cuba libre. It is fantastic and I would rate it a 9 maybe a 10.

My first Agricole and I love it. It is smooth, fruity sour, mildly sweet has a beautiful lightly oily texture, there might be some umami in there given it makes me salvitate.

Veritas White review posted 30 days ago by coffeNrum 🇩🇪 | 10 ratings

I didn’t appreciate it when I first opened the bottle, not even after extended breathing time. A couple of weeks later I had a glass and wow my perception of it changed. I really want to like it even more. I do like it now but as with all spirits I need to be in the mood for them. For Veritas I will not be in the mood super often but I will enjoy it when I am.

To me this is an easy to drink rum without edges. I prefer it to Flor de Cana 18 because it isn’t as woody and I prefer it to Plantation XO because it isn’t as sweet.
I found a bottle of the 23 year old and will do a comparison when I open that bottle.

Given the circumstance that this was my third better rum this was so easy to drink. My first 2 better Rums were Flor de Cana 18 and OFTD. Nevertheless, it is too sweet for my taste.

Plantation Overproof O.F.T.D. review posted 1 month ago by coffeNrum 🇩🇪 | 10 ratings

Interesting, but not a sipper at least to me. In my inexperience I bought this for the wrong reasons. On the other hand it didn’t work great for me in Cuba Libre nor in DarknStormy. As a sipper it is too spicy to me and has too much burn, no matter how much water I add. I am sure if I would know the cocktail it should go into it would be great.

Plantation Isle Fiji rum
Plantation Isle Fiji review posted 1 month ago by Charles M 🇬🇧 | 150 ratings

I saw on offer at the supermarket with 30% off, so I thought why not. I'm used to Plantation's overly sweet rums that Marks & Spencer used to do, and they weren't my style but made a good change every now and then.

I should have looked at the label more closely. It states "Dosage 16g" so they're not trying to hide the fact that this has a lot of sweetness added to it. However it dominates the young spirit far too much. Maybe that is a good thing, as if not, it would be a harsh and unattractive rum. As it is, it's OK but really not very good and should be far better.

It's one of those that might get used further down the line to blend away with some other disappointing rum. Maybe I am being unfair on it, as it is at the lower end of their range.

A poor man’s watered down version of hampden the younger, nose is similar but less banana, taste is less esther and more burn. Just get a hampden instead

Ve vůni cítím jemný náznak sudu se směsí sladkého ovoce a čokoládového másla. Vůně je podle taková slabá, skoro až mdlá.
Chuť je málo výrazná, ale příjemná směs ovoce, čokoládového másla a dřeva sudu. Trochu zanechává pocit lihovosti na patře a to poměrně dlouhou dobu.
Příjemný rum na večerní dlouhé popíjení s přáteli.

Not bad actually, I was surprised. Pretty smooth, no unpleasant burning. Sweetness is also on the lower side. Might aswell be a sipper on the rocks. Adequate anejo rum.

Navy Island Navy Strenght rum
Navy Island Navy Strenght review posted 1 month ago by ReMan 🇷🇺 | 11 ratings

Тип рома: выдержанный
Страна происхождения: Ямайка
Дистиллерия и боттлер: бленд 11 спиртов дистиллерий Hampden Estate, Worthy Park Estate и Clarendon/Monymusk (Navy Island Rum Company, Амстердам, Нидерланды)
Сырьё: меласса
Оборудование для дистилляции: перегонные кубы ямайского типа с ретортой
Бочки: из-под бурбона
Выдержка: от 3ёх до 7ми лет
Добавленный сахар: отсутствует
Краситель: есть
Крепость: 57%
Объём: 700 мл
Дата розлива: 16.09.2022

Насыщенный и яркий аромат с типичными ямайскими «причудами», типа нот компоста из прелой травы и перезрелых или печёных фруктов (яблок, цитрусов, папайи), жареных бананов с пеканом, копи-лувак; сильны также ноты кожи, табака, ванили, белого перца, мускатного ореха, солёной карамели, какой-то тон гуаши или лакокраски, активированного угля, небольшие нюансы бурого изюма. Не скажу, что аромат прям приятный, он довольно-таки специфический, но не отталкивающий. Что-то новенькое и любопытное.
Вкус взрывной и глубокий, начиная с кислых нот тёмных ягод, мандаринов Клементины, зелёных яблок и винограда и переходя в травянистые землистые, банановые, табачные, кожаные, кофейные, ореховые и карамельные оттенки, заканчивается тонами специй и соли. Добавление воды чуть облегчает вкус и аромат, делая ром более фруктовым и карамельным, хотя ноты чего-то жаренного, затхлого, солёного и переспелого никуда не деваются.
Послевкусие. Среднее или дольше продолжительностью. Тёмные ягоды, цитрусовые, изюм, жареные бананы с солью, белый перец, мускатный орех, кожа.
Ямайский ром – это всегда интересный, необычный и специфический продукт на своего любителя и я, думаю, справедливо полагаю, что, перед нами далеко не самая экстремальная его экспрессия. Я люблю открывать для себя что-то новое и мне ром понравился - несмотря на свою странность, он обладает хорошей крепостью, насыщенностью и глубиной вкуса и аромата, несмотря на сравнительную молодость и резкость спиртов, присутствующее в нём фруктовые и карамельные нюансы удачно оттеняют «фанковые» черты.
