$5 bin at target. Had to christen it with a Jungle Bird. Cheers 🍻

Started my rum journey about 2 years ago. Began as a bourbon drinker and now almost exclusively drink rum. Finally think I've developed a decent enough pallet and wanted to share my 1st review on probably the most obscure rum in my collection (Stole the template form memphisrumclub)

Overview - Walcher Organic Amber Rum

Picked this one up on a work trip in a small grocery store in Italy last year and have been nursing it since. I've been seeing Mater pop up a lot and felt this deserved a shout out. Made from Italian sugarcane

Pineapple, Coconut, Carmel, Tropical, very slight banana

Pineapple, Coconut, Tropical, Pina Colada, Candy, Sweetness, Shampoo. Very little burn

Finish

Short Length, Fruity, Smooth, Butterscotch

Rating: 8.2/10

Summary

Extremely smooth and very flavorful. Light mouthfeel. Not as grassy or herbal as something like an Agricole. No burn on the nose, palate, or finish. I'm not a fan of Pina Coladas but if they all tasted like this maybe I would be. I picked this up for 28 Euros and dam what a steal. Don't think they distribute in the US but I'm hoping they begin to soon. if you're ever in Northern Italy, it's worth bringing home a bottle. It's very unique and I haven't tried one quite yet with a similar profile. Im doubtful that they cut it with sugar like a spanish rum based on the sweetness level. Curious if anyone else has come across this bottle. Thanks for reading!

Any tips on how to really dive into these reviews is appreciated. The rum wheel has been very helpful. Feel free to critique.
