Quorhum 30-Year

Barva: lepo hrastnato rjava

Vonj: hrast, kanček vanilije

Roka: suhe slive

Okus: karamela, hrast

Glede na to da sem bolj ljubitelj začinjenih rumov, se mi ta še nekako dopade. V samem začetku v osprednje stopi sladek okus (karamela), ki postopoma preide v okus po hrastu.

Priporočam ga za posebne priložnosti in ne vsakodnevno uživanje.

I bought a bottle of Quorhum for a special occasion - a goodbye party with a group of colleagues - and it fit the ambiance very well. The rum itself is amazing. I even like the bottle design. This is a kind of drink that one loves to share with friends, but at the same time wants to have all for self.

9 - The nose is initially coated with caramelised and roasted notes, but one quickly feels that the rum's interest lies elsewhere. Indeed, it seems to reside in a certain fruity, acidic, sweet but definitely exotic and tropical concentration.

With aeration, the balance between the caramelised roundness and the aromatic rum is established, even if it is the sweetness that we retain in the end. The roasted nuts are generously coated, the vanilla pods are as if they were burnt. One can still distinguish this fruity inclination which draws towards the ripe and oozing mirabelle plums.

8-The entry in mouth is well rounded, greedy like a caramel and tender like a nougat. A few lightly roasted almonds bring a little relief. The vanilla spreads languorously on the palate, and the tongue is impregnated with gingerbread.

8-The finish is marked by notes of old fruit in brandy, with a hint of ginger.

You might think what you want about Solera and their declaration of years in barrels but this one is a bargain for what you get...well balanced with taste of honey, vanilla and fresh fruits...even chocolate. If you like sweet rons this ist for sure one to try. Price for what you get ist excellent 👍

At first : I cannot believe, that this should be a pot still rum, like it's written here above. But I couldn't found something more about that question in the web.
Let's start !
Nose : honey, cocoa, caramell. Really pleasant
Palate : very chocolately, cocoa, some honey, a little coffee. Perfect mix for me
Finish : medium and sweet. No sharpness, nothing burns, just honey sweetness.
Conclusion : this is really a tasteful rum. But I guess, that there is a little sugar added because of so much sweetness. I will try to find it out. Until then I give it a cautious 8. Maybe I have to revise it, when it's to much sugared. Coming back soon.

Update 11/07/2023 : I found out, that there is more than 30 Gramm sugar/ltr. inside and less alcohol than labled. So one point less than primary ratetd. All in all just a 7, but nonetheless it's good :-)

The taste is caramel, vanilla but for me it is a bit "smoky".

Sweet but certainly not to sweet, slight burn, but very smooth. Smells of vanilla, ripe fruit maybe some citrus. Hints of oak.

One of my go to choices for special evenings with friends or family, and at this price (+/-75€) sharing is not a problem.

Nagy várakozásokkal bontottam kie zt a rumot, mert sok jót olvastam itt róla. Sajnos nem váltotta be a hozzá fűzött reményeket. Ez egy közepes rum, semmi extra, jó iparos munka szokták mondani errefelé. Az illata kimondottan kellemetlen. Többször is újrakóstoltam, hátha éppen csak a hangulatom nem volt hozzzá megfelelő, de sajnos nekem ez nem jött be...

Complex, spicy, delicious, sweet type. Similar to a Matusalem 23, but better quality.

Rum without frills as it should be (or better: as I personally like it). Well balanced and not too sweet.
