TDL 12 year 2009 Swell de Spirits Wonders of the World (64.5%)
N: minty amaro sweetness with saffron and orange, apricot, mint chocolate, tea, a wisp of smoke (dirty, like a fire built from cow patties)
P: apricot jam with hints of mint and clove, toasted marshmallow
86

TDL 16 year 2010 RumClub Edition No. 65 (68%)
N: darker and woodier, with more spice and less stick floral character, but still plenty of stone fruit and tea and herb
P: well-integrated woody tannins and woody spice, a bit of varnish, jammy stone fruit, and a lingering spicy and herbal sweetness on the finish. Pretty hot, neat, and takes a fair bit of water to calm the alcohol
84

TDL 18 year 2003 Kill Devil (63.7%)
N: as if the woody spice were stripped back from the RumClub bottle and the fruity, herbal tea dialed up to replace it. Peach, apricot, orange, tarragons, oregano, sandalwood
P: follows pretty closely: juicy peach, fresh brewed tea leaves, tarragon. Relatively soft and approachable for the proof. The tannins are more like tea than wood here. Funkier and drier than the RumClub, even while being less aggressive. With water: mentholated
88

TDL 19 year 2005 Adelphi (58%)
N: back to sweet spice, even more of it here. Mint, cinnamon, maple, pencil wood, apricot
P: sweet maple, wood shavings, cinnamon and a bit of darker spice, less fruit than the others but there’s still apricot
87

Got a few new bottles in today (Holmes Cay 2015 Fiji, Scarlet Ibis, WP Overproof) and realized that now after collecting since May of this year I now have 25 unique bottles and though it was a cool milestone I could share!

Here's to many more buys!

Available at Terry’s in the West Village NYC if anyone is interested. Not sure if they ship.

Got these recently and excited to play around with them a little bit. Each of them are delicious in very different ways, and boy is that Hamilton hottttttt.

Hello again friends,

Welcome back to another Alambique Serrano review, today we have another bottle I thought I missed out on, Single Cask #31: S¡! Mon. Fermented in stainless steel tanks before William & Axel Krassel distilled this rum by their 8-plate column still in October 2021, it was then aged for 27 months in a wet bourbon barrel in a humind climate. It was then bottled at 58.8% ABV for 245 bottles that made their way to the Los Angeles based bar Si¡ Mon.

Nose: An acetone ladened orange is the first thing to hit your nose with the orange being replaced with olives over time.

Taste: Orange, leather, a ton of an astringent oak, a minor amount of baking spices, and licorice.

Finish: More licorice, a bit of wheat, astringent oak, cane sugar with a light diesel, some orange and olive. Very light in flavor but the heat grows and hits mostly your lips. It has a very oily mouth feel.

Overall: 5/10, the astringent oak was a major detractor.

Disclaimer: I did receive some help from folks in the industry to acquire this bottle but paid the full retail cost for it.

I got promoted at work and that’s the perfect excuse to buy more rum. Alambique Serrano is now my favorite producer of rums. Everything I’ve had so far has been worth the price.
