    "Great bottling - both wonderful fruit notes and wood, spice and a heavy caramel sweetness come together here. The alcohol is excellently integrated, the over 70% are not really tasty - except in the aromatic complexity. If Plantation can maintain this level, one can look forward to the coming releases."

    "A superb bottling! Jamaica funk, esters, wood, spice. The nose hints at the potential of this rum, perhaps a little spicy with its 70% abv. The palate is oily, creamy and at the same time astringent, with an outstanding interplay of aromas of tropical fruits, glue, wood... Very well integrated alcohol. A long finish rounds off this outstanding rum."
