    "Vanillemark, Cola, mango/pfirsich-schwarztee und balsamico, sowie grüne Walnusslikör Noten an der Nase. extrem komplex, süß, vielseitig und Intensiv. geschmacklich: dunkel, bitter, leicht säuerlich, malzig, schokoladig, Mokka und schwarzer Kardamom, Ceylon Tee, grüner Tee mit Minze, medjoul Datteln, Dörrpflaumen sowie extrem geile intensive und pure Melasse & Cola Noten! absoluter wahnsinn, das das Ding nach 38y nicht nur noch nach Holz schmeckt. geiler Stoff und flüssige Geschichte. deutlich weniger holzig als erwartet, diese intensive, dickflüssige Melasse, grüne Walnuss und Pflaumen Note ist einfach gigantisch! Nur Preislich wären 200€ weniger eher angemessen..."

    "I think that is the oldest rum I've ever tasted. I'm quite surprised it is not so woody. I would even say it is very well balanced and wood does not kill everything. Kudos to RumClub 💥"

    "A very nice rum. With a lot of bitterness and wood, but also fruits, especially after a long aeration."

    "Komplex, einzigartig, extrem. An der Nase noch pure Versuchung voll von zitrisch-süsser Cola, roten Früchten und Tabak. Am Gaumen meldet sich dann das Alter, die Aromen aus der Nase werden flankiert von viel intensiv-herben Holz- und Gewürznoten, sehr eigene Röstaromen, die an Weihrauch erinnern. Ein Erlebnis und natürlich flüssige Historie, leider scheint der Zenit aber bereits überschritten zu sein. Hat was, muss man aber mögen."
