How does this rum taste?
- Harmonious flavor integration
- Balanced smoky aroma

The Single Cask Rum BRS, distilled at Barbados' West Indies distillery in 1986, offers a complex and enticing profile. This limited edition of 244 bottles, aged for 25 years and bottled at 52.7% ABV by Duncan Taylor, is noted for its smoky and medicinal aroma with hints of vanilla and honey.

"I found it a little fresher than the Artesanal rum, but this was a little more complex and mature. With both bottlings, it is amazing how ingeniously alcohol can be integrated into a rum."
"Rockley essence at top level, but in direct comparison with the even older representatives of Rum Artesanal and Silver Seal, the bottling almost seems a little diluted to me. However, this is only noticeable in direct comparison, as a top rating is absolutely deserved here too. A great release, but not the King of Rockley in my list."
"Last rum tasting for this year and then it's also my 500th rum! I rock that neat with something rare and good ... an 86 Rockley 🤩Nose: fantastic mix of spicy-sweet honey, delicate honeycomb, wax and medicinal notes with some iodine and brine. Behind that some orange zest and then slightly woody and smoky. All well balanced and round. 94Palate: very round, salty and spicy. Again this slightly medicinal with some iodine. Slightly woody-smoky with vanilla and fine honey in honeycomb. 92It's all the subtle nuances that make a Rockley and the unique profile that won't be seen again. Must definitely try again. With a little more rest!"
"Tasting from 2016 with good friends in Munich. A great WIRD release with almost perfect harmony between the elements and great ABV integration. Fruity and despite the age the wood is not dominant. I really like the smoky touch though it's light. Very nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has honey and nut flavours."
