Banks 7 Golden Age

Fand den Banks 5 Islands so gut, und hatte im zurückliegenden Jahr eigentlich nichts gefunden, was dem ebenbürtig erschien, also nochmal los und selbigen eingesackt. Doch da stand noch ein 7 Islands daneben - Interesse geweckt, auch eingesackt. Und hat sich tatsächlich gelohnt: ist tatsächlich noch ein bisl besser als der 5er. Noch ein bisl weicher, aber trotzdem etwas kräftiger und vielfältiger. Könnte wetten, auch Whisky-Trinker könnten sich dazu hinreißen lassen. Für mich derzeit der beste und möglicher Weise schon zu schade zum Mixen.

Great complexity on the nose as it changes from time to time and reminds me of quite a number of rums.
Butterscotch, Salted caramel, toffee and with lots of sweets spices. Mild sour berries and unripe mango. The let down will be the slight burn on nose with strong ethanol.

Sweets spices on the first sip: vanilla, anise and woody. Dried apricot, unripe peach and light touch of funk towards the end.

Finish of chocolate bar with dried raisins and macadamia nuts. Alcohol tends to be on the strong side which numb the tongue altough it's bottled at 43% abv.

I love this rum straight up, but I imagine it would make high-end cocktails really shine. A solid top-shelf choice. Yum.

Better than the 5 for sure, a whole new level of delight.

Delicious. Worth the big hype, a well balanced rum of high value, drink this with respect.

Lol oak, molasses, pepper....all in all a good rum kinda falls into the ick of all trades master of none

this blend compared to the 5 is not so heavy on the batavia arrack. It's not a bad sipper at all. The 5 is probably better for mixing as it is a tad funkier.

Purchased a bottle of Banks 7 rum as I was intrigued by the blend from 7 different countries. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. The funkiness from Jamaican rums and dryness from Barbados rums are very noticeable and the mixture from the other rums adds to the overall taste of this rum. The nose leads me to believe it is somewhat sweet but i. Fact, the taste is the opposite, dry and spicy. Definitely a nice rum and one that I will keep on hand.

Ce super rhum qui assemble avec brio 7 cask differents.ce qui ressort c la puissance en gout de la barbade et jamaisue avec un truc en plus.tres bien pour les collectionneurs.et en plus 40 euros c pas cher pour cette qualite.note 8.1.

N- Multi faces, fine blends that offering array of dried fruits, spices, vanilla, demarara in a sphere of smoky oak phenol. White oak, crushed leaf earthiness with milky strawberry, ripe tropical stone fruits, clove. Nice sweet herbs at spine with sweet bbq marinated meat developed, can't get better and entertaining than that. (91/22)

P- Sweet earthy herbs note and demarara carry on, mellow and balance. Complex, colourful but lack layers, all up on your face at once. (87/21)

F- Medium-long, creamy sour fruits, baked apple with spice, dry mouth coating, echoing fine oak with spicy nuance. (87/21)

Body / Balance- 88/22
