    Smoky Rockley-style Barbados surprise
    Who is this rum for?

    You’ll probably enjoy this if you like Barbados with personality—think Rockley honey, smoke and herbs—especially if you’re comfortable with whisky-style dryness and 56% ABV.

    Not really suitable for

    Newcomers, those sensitive to bitterness or higher proof, and drinkers expecting sweet, classic coconut-vanilla Barbados profiles.

    Incredibly intense on the nose and palate, plus creamy and oily. A real great drink flow that the rum Artesanal could create if you had more of it. A really beautiful rum that clearly showed us why there was so much hype around this bottling. The complexity in conjunction with the pronounced sweetness is also something very special in this W.I.R.D.

    Lecker Karamel auf der Zunge. Hatte auch Assoziationen zu einem Savanna. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen!

    05.04.2024 Mount Gay Extreme Rare online tasting mit Dirk. Retasting and I stick to my score. Again this one needs to rest and the result is a very smooth and elegant rum with perfect ABV integration. ----------------------- A wonderful rum staying true to Barbados and its flavours. Woody with fruit and spices from nose to finish. Medium complex wit a little caramel. I do like the oily roasted/smoky touch on the palate. Price to quality is very good.
