How does Simon‘s Valkyrie Castanea taste?
Whisky-style German chestnut rum
If you enjoy malt whisky or wood-forward rums, this is an interesting sideways step—just expect chestnut cask character and alcohol presence rather than soft sweetness.
Those wanting an easy, sweet Caribbean-style sipper or anyone sensitive to alcohol presence and whisky-like aromas.

Damit zeigt Simon's seine Stärke. Erstklassiger Rum mit wahnsinns Bouquet und komplexen Geschmack. Man sollte ihn im Glas ein paar Minuten stehen lassen. Dann entfaltet sich nicht nur das vielschichtige Bouquet sondern auch der komplexe runde Geschmack. Deutscher Rum brauch sich nicht verstecken vor der karibischen oder Südamerika Konkurrenz. Hervorragend!
Nicht so übel, wie es laut Bewertung aussieht. Interessanter Fasseinfluss, ansonsten nichts Besonderes und flach.
auch dieser war im probierpaket von Simons drin. Bisher mein unangefochtene Favorit dieser brennerei.. wie soll man diesen rum kurz beschrieben. fruchtig, süss, wahnsinnig komplex aber dennoch rund. hat mir sehr gut gefallen
Riecht nach Whisky … passt mir gar nicht
