For lidt ekstra penge, er den en noget bedre oplevelse at hente i 30 års udgaven

Chuťově nejslabší a nejméně vyvážená verze z 12,15,23,30 a vyplatí se připlatit za 30, je tam obrovský rozdíl.

This rum is strong but not with an sharp edge. The dark colour emphasizes the taste which is rich with a nice lasting sweet sensation. I'm not usually one for it, but this ine smells great and makes you really3want to take a sip.

Less complex and warm than 30y, but much better than 12y. The price/quality ratio is worse than 30y - save few money and buy 30y or even better the Cask Strenght version 🙂

This rum is very sweet with a lot vanilla, cane, ripe fruits and a bit of oak. I prefer the Cask Strength 30 series though. This is good but a bit too sweet.

Ron Quorhum XO 23 42% (Dominican Republic)
Eye: Reddish flat Coke
Nose: It is so direct in its overwhelming sweetness it is difficult to imagine the taste being nothing but the same as the smell. It is round, sweet, fat and oily and absolutely smacked with burnt sugar, treacle, cotton candy, honey and embrowned butter. It gives away a notion of what it would be like to drink rich mahogany and resin. There is also a faint layer of stale Cola and a rather wonderful whiff of wet nettles. As top notes we find some flowery citrus and a touch of old dry leather. Despite the pleasant notes the overall olfactory experience is not that impressive. The alcohol burn is well balanced but I seem to lack a depth other than the immense sweetness. It has a (s)low development when poured but I think it is safe to say this is and will continue to be – a sugar bomb! Coming back to it I find some orange pralines, oak vanilla and molasses. Pretty heavy stuff in its simplicity.
Mouth: What surprises me at first is the power of heavy weight alcohol. It is a pleasant surprise I might ad. I would have thought it would be bland and weak. What does not surprise me though is the repugnant liquid sugar flow that smothers every attempt of other tastes to compete for the attention of my taste buds. I could be imagining but it feels like my teeth hurt. It is so sweet it can nearly be percepted as sour, just like very cold ice can appear to be hot. It is round, smooth and ingratiating but in a slimy, off putting way. The alcohol burn is excellent and there are definitely some forgiving features, scents and flavors in this fat, oily bastard but nothing can compensate for the crazy over load eruption of floating sugar.
Reaction: I think it is pretty obvious this is not a buddy of mine. I don´t see how anyone can enjoy this as a serious spirit. The price is alright I guess and the bottle is super cool (I drink from the cubic one) but this rum reminds me more of an insecure bully in need of a shower than a refined old gentleman with wits and wisdom. Of course we cannot all be astute and well-mannered but one can at least try. The quote for this one, pertaining the sugar level, will be taken from “This Is Spinal Tap” and the comment on their amplifiers: “these go to eleven”.
