Blackadder Raw Cask Rum Finest Panama Rum 2009 11yr 63,2%

"I always find Blackadder interesting, especially because of the fine carbon sediments from the barrel. More purism is almost impossible. Nose: needs a little time in the glass for the initial alcoholic sharpness to dissipate. Then comes a beautiful, spicy fruitiness. Coconut milk with vanilla, orange and lemon. Retains a metallic note the whole time. In the middle it is almost a little floral with a clear syrupy sweetness. At the end it becomes a little more muted, caramelly, woody with a slight smoky note. However, the Spanish style is unmistakable. Palate: initially salty-bitter metallic-fruity. Lemon zest with coconut. Then some sour cherry before it quickly turns woody-spicy. Now also laughs roasted-nutty, pecan nut. Metallic again at the back with lemon zest. Good."

"With its 63,2% alcohol, this rum gives a good kick.. But in a good way - I find it pretty harmonic, in spite of the percentage, dry and complexed. Notes of ripe fruit, bananas, pineapple, burnt sugar, citrus and a hint of glue 😳 But in a good way.. A dry and complex taste - floral honey, brown sugar, vanilla, live and a bit of tobacco. I find this rum very delicious 😋"
