Does anyone know if Wilke’s rum blends have changed recipes over the past few years? I had some 515 a few years ago, and I recently received some 515 as a sample and rum cake with extra rum.
But the 515, has a more booze smell to it, and it’s not with extra rum.
When you dry these blends out, can someone tell me what is the predominant smell and taste of these blends? I assumed it would be rum, but to me, they come across more like tonquin bean room note. The room note is this predominant smell, which is the taste.
This predominant taste comes across, like a slight bitter, something, if you were thinking of food is more like fermented, or like a spoiled taste.
I thought these rum blends, they are sweet, vanilla, cavendish, slightly rum flavored, like an old school codger captain black cavendish or mac baren blend, but it’s not, and I just don’t understand this odd flavor I’m tasting. If this is suppose to be rum, it doesn’t taste at all like rum.
Anyone else experience a peculiar taste in these rum blends. or blends similar?
Because I have Sutliff Spiced Rum and Queen Anne’s Revenge, and I thought these Wilke blends were something similar?
No disrespect for Wilke, I know Wilke produces great blends and Mr. Brandt a nice guy, I’m only trying to understand why these come across with whatever this predominant taste is, that’s peculiar.
The smell, room note is amazing, but the taste is not pleasing at all, and my taste buds are fine, so I don’t get what’s going on... hmm ?
Thanks
