At 8:11 it was so far in the Casa Romana Che was really rather a Rumtasting. Well planned from 6-7 people, only 4, but not bad, it was for others to eat more, and believe me we had our fun.
first sip cocktails proffered the formidable host (I think that was my humble self, if my ego ;-) Tell a mojito with fresh sage from the garden. You can only imagine the aroma now, of course, but seem to mint and sage in such a mojito to be really good friends.
first round of rum was a white representative to this country praktiscb not be found , Although the taste is convinced, dry, light and balanced, and perfect for mixing. The Rum: ESA Field White Rum from Barbados the Foursquare Distillery. The bottle of Grey Goose or Chopin recalled and could play only by the packaging manufactured in the so-called super premium category (which does exist only symbolich for advertising). But unanimously really a great product for the price.
The second was a little more mature from a country of which is also less in our region. Rather, most rums from this island country come next to him the DomReb, this one from Haiti. The Barbancourt Réserve Five Stars (aged 8 years) to really be noticed, in which he cognac tradition is produced. Dupré Barbancourt founded in 1862, the company in Haiti still family owned only by the name Guard.
This rum is quite comparable with better Cocgnacs the VSOP level. Best quote from a product description is: "Brown rum distilled from sugar cane juice, syrup and / or molasses Depending on availibility." Not bad, you take more or less what is on now and raw sugar.
The Middle, Third Rum had a dark amber color and impressed immediately with its smell. Citation. "The smell finally after rum" In pointing out he was from Venezuela was clear who we had before us. The Pampero Aniversario Reserva Exclusiva. Much you need on this rum really do not get rid of. He is miles ahead here as for his awards and the prize money is really all he can return. From the distillery is not much known, but the rum was created in 1963 for the anniversary. Since he was related to a priori best he could win early lover, for example, Mr. Gonsalez our guitar player / singer of the twice a year with us in the Watts occurs. we dedicate ourselves to the fourth un rum, then how to read could also Reserva was on the label, but this has to mean not much in rum. From the color amber ago he was a little brighter and the aroma came here beautiful wood tones combined with dry fruits on the nose and a really full flavor, reminded one of something. After the dissolution it was also clear. In Cuban tradition established, you can taste also the Malecon Reserva Imperial 18 year old here with the adult variant. A really nice rum, although I would have expected from the 18 years a little more depth, because so many Cubans with 7 years has more substance.
Now even the last of the rum that comes along in a dark mahogany. Karamellgschmack poet, who can already imagine a lot. And yes, the taste is there, too nice, dark caramel and coffee. A sweetness that runs through the entire tasting to echo, in which then an oak barrel notes. A typical representative of Demerara: the Royal Extra Mature Demerara Rum XM was developed 9 years in bourbon oak barrels and then continue to get six months in sherry casks its finish. Another tip for Guyana. 
with the rum they had actually been more than a digestive brought to them, but the finale was on digestive or a cocktail invented by virtuosos on the basis of the great classic Negroni, the Cubanica (If one can think of a better name please write). Havana Club 7 years (in the case, the Malecon used Imperial), Ramazotti, Carpano Antica Formula stirred at the same rate with 2-3 dashes Bitters Xocolatl on ice and then strained into a bowl. Rub the rim with orange zest and the cumshot on the cocktail. Perfect digestif cocktail, easy btter, with much substance and light chocolate tones. Now this was a report on the tasting itself, which came after the first rum was a great meal and increased again after dinner drink with rum-Colas, and perhaps one or the other digestive let's make out of it. The usual suspects are happy to report it somewhere else, maybe.
