I sampled this Clément during my lunch break and liked it so much that I purchased a bottle.

Something more basic… read good things about it and the next summer is not far away. Curious how it compares to my favourite white so far (Rhum J.M Blanc 50⁰).

Brachial mit ordentlich Zitrus und Zuckerrohr und süffig wie der Blanco 52,5%! Schlägt natürlich nach zwei TiPunch-Einheiten nochmal ganz anders im Gebälk ein…😉

Another Nobilis arrived. Two more on the way. I really like their rums.

Chantal Comte 2006, one of the last bottles sourced on the primary market. I prefer the 2001 but this one is fantastic too.

Good choice! The clarendon I liked most out of the new Plantation single casks. It opens up in the glass step by step over a long period. So be sure to give it some time. Sadly all of them are more or less dilluted.

Yes i found that’s a really good price/quality rhum.

> Sadly all of them are more or less dilluted

To me, not a problem 😉 I really like the rhums around 50%. I often find the 60% and more are too/very alcoholic. I find them good too of course, but for me it does not bring so much that they are more loaded with alcohol, except more waiting to appreciate them.  
In reality, we would have to be able to compare identical reduced/unreduced rums to get an idea. On the Demerara from Le Gus’t they had done it and the difference was not so important (but neither was the difference in % alcohol, 58% vs 65% from memory…). On the Hampden fist batch, the difference was too important (46% vs 59%, so I prefered the full proof version, but I’m almost certain I would have loved a 50% version).

Wenn ich die Chance hätte, würde ich meine leere Flasche auch sofort nochmal ersetzen…  
Ich persönlich fand den sogar besser als 2001…
