Flensburg Rum Company Sea Shepherd (Beluga)

8,1:On the nose, we find an estery rum, pleasantly fruity with an unripe banana, green apple, spicy with red pepper, vanilla and roasted wood with caramel, minty cane. On aeration, a rubber is our companion, herbaceous notes, from fruits apricots, lime peel, sour cherry, as bit astringent. 8:On the palate, the attack is bourbony with yellow fruits, green apple, roasted wood with burnt sugar, spicy vanilla, salty and peppery. The cane brings honey and diverse vegetal notes like mint, grass, chamomile, thyme and herbaceous, floral notes.There is a pleasant, unripe banana, later some lime peel, underneath some rubber still follows us. 8,2:The finish is long, tasty, dry with spicy, roasted wood notes like vanilla, pastry, coffee, fruits like banana, green apple, kumquat and yellow fruits, herbaceous and floral, grassy notes...

For tasting as a sample directly from Kirsch. A rum made from sugar cane juice from Ecuador. I'm not so familiar with the distillation traditions, but in terms of taste I would say it was previously made from molasses. So something new again, very nice! Exciting nose, quite herbal, almost reminds me of younger PMs. Unfortunately very thin on the palate, some potential is lost here. Otherwise a little sweet, reminiscent of honey, which again I find somewhat exciting. Overall an exciting new bottling, but nothing that I personally need.

Won a sample set of the 4 new Sea Shepherd from Kirsch. THANK YOU 🙏. Here is the tropically matured sugar cane juice rum from Ecuador... Nose: despite only 47%, quite intense and even a little cutting at the beginning. Fruity, spicy and woody. Sweet, mealy banana with sour-sweet passion fruit and gooseberry with redcurrant. There is also sour cherry and green apple. Behind this, it is herbaceous and spicy with a little red pepper, vanilla and a hint of mint. Surprisingly beautiful and interesting nose. 8.0 Palate: dry, somewhat thin and quite spicy-woody-tart. Initially salty with lime zest and some caraway, slightly bitter. This is followed by subtle, slightly sweet fruit, perhaps green apple. Becomes grassy at the back with herbs and citrusy notes of kumquat. Weaker and more brittle than the nose, appears alcoholic at first despite the low %. 7,6 Quite unusual for Ecuador and therefore interesting.

Some really nice rubber notes with some green apple and Spanish sweetness. Some banana esters and sub par alcohol integration. I can see me drinking this but am happy I onlY bought a sample. Worth a try though

Equador, am Anfang intensiv fruchtige Nase, auch ein wenig buttrig mit leichtem honig touch. Geschmack ein wenig dünn, leichte fruchtsüße mit gebranntem Zucker und ein wenig säure. Abgang ein bischen pfeffrig. Is ok als sample

Zweite FRC Sea Shepherd Serie. Wieder ein Rum aus Ecuador. Ich finde ihn sowohl in der Nase als auch auf der Zunge gut gelungen. Er hat die typischen süßen honigartigen Noten eines spanischen Rums. Mir hat er durchaus gefallen.

Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Hat wie ich finde eine heftige Nase, riecht für mich nach einer frisch gesäubert Toilette, heftig. Am Gaumen hat er dann eine gewisse Süße (Schokolade) und Würze. Der bislang schlechteste heute.
