DIPLOMATICO ‘PLANAS’ (47%, OB, VENEZUELA, +/-2018)
This new Diplo is actually aged rum (they say for 6 years) that’s then filtered through charcoal so that it loses its colour – hopefully not its flavours, let’s see …
WORTHY PARK ‘RUM BAR OVERPROOF’ (65%, OB, JAMAICA, WHITE, +/-2018)
Already tried it two years ago, and loved it. WF 88 and approx. 30€, so beats a few Scotches… But let’s do this quick… Colour: white. Nose: it’s much more extreme, smokier, tarrier, more gravely…
J. BALLY 1999/2017 ‘BRUT DE FÛT’ (54.5%, MARTINIQUE, AGRICOLE, FOR LA MAISON DU WHISKY)
Fasten your seat belts, this baby’s almost black in its famous pyramidal bottle… Colour: espresso. Nose: my, this is heavy! Some kind of wood decoction, with crushed old walnuts, walnut stain, heavy herbal liqueur (Underberg, Unicum).
