    "8,5:The nose entices you with notes of wood, clove, allspice, and honeyed dried fruit like prunes, baked honey with apple and pears, brown sugar, licorice, vanilla and raspberries. Some parfum and leather could also be detected. All well balanced, alcohol integrated. 8,5:On the palate it is buttery, fruity with tropical fruits and spicy-pepper, with toasted wood, vanilla, tobacco, molasses, later going towards red fruits such as cherry, blackcurrant and sweet chilli, coming a bit dry.Irish whisky finish is felt nicely, has some medicinal notes and is well balanced and very complex. 8,3:Asian spices and other warm spices are present with a hint of oak, saltiness and smokiness at the finish..."

    "I’m a fan of this rum. Its more interesting than the Royal Oak and all together a different profile which just works. I haven’t had many Irish whisky cask finished rums but it works really well here. The nose is all Parma violets and candied fruit, the mouth sweet and candy led but with more complexity and some light barrel notes alongside honeyed sweetness. The finish is moderate with some schnapps and warm spicy notes. The only thing that is lacking for me is the alcohol is not as integrated as it could be. An impressive rum and my favourite of the Asmiral Rodney range thus far"

    "The nose is not too smoky. It is rather fruity-spicy on a honeyed profile. We have nice tropical fruits, caramel, licorice and vanilla. On the finish, we find the characteristic peaty notes of whiskey as well as notes of tobacco. I find this reference nice and the finish whiskey is rather contained. It's clearly not the type of bottle I would have gone for, so it's cool that I got it as a gift."
