Tout simplement parmi les meilleurs long pond que j’ai pu déguster. Grosse claque. Il est superbe 🤩😍🤩 Complexité et longueur 🤩🤩🤩 c’est du lourd
incredibly harmonious easy Sipping long pond. seeeehr cool, I would have liked to buy a bottle...🤤 nice mix of dark chocolate, baked banana with sesame, espresso, ginger and orange+grapefruit zest, some mirabelle plum and pear, maple syrup and roasted pecans. It's not until the finish that the signature baked banana comes through subtly with a nice freshness of toasted sesame and mint. brutally delicious stuff!⚡ I like it even a good bit better than the Velier vrw 12y 💯 for me the best VRW on the market!
Auto-translated2023 and I still love it though at the last bottle 😊 Another wonderful bottling from Valinch & Mallet. Happy that I got my hands on 2 bottles. Remember to rest for 15-20 minutes to release all those wonderful flavours. 2021.12.10 Sitting in my recliner right now enjoying this wonderful rum. No wonder people like it, real funk and fruits from Jamaica. I have the entire series and the general quality level is very high.
This is a Long Pond just the way I like it... complex with funk, fruit, spice, wood and toasty sweetness. That's exactly how it should be, it's a good thing I still have a bottle to call my own. V&M did a great job and got a perfect bottling
