"I’m extremely honoured to have a few drops of rum history in my glass. The colour is quite dark and once you plunge your nose into the glass you are hit with a ton of aromas. Dried fruit, vanilla, wood, spices, caramel and leather. I could n’ose the glass for hours. On the palate I get the same, the rum is round and complex with a lovely finish. Quite amazing when you think about the sailors drinking this and similar blends. They sure got some good stuff back in the day. Many, many thanks to Michael for the sample! 🤗"

"Uiuiui, what a surprise, I really wonder how I earned this. Thank you thank you thank you mto75 for sharing such a fine drop with me. I'm still a little speechless. As for the rum itself, it's simply a piece of rum history. Delicious, delicious, delicious, but it only just breaks the 9, which I think it can get over."

"A special moment, not for landlubbers. Two lemons in a sampling glass against the scurvy and singing "What shall we do with the drunken sailor" out loud... A very tart smell. Leather, tobacco, caramel and beautiful notes of solvent and polish in the background, then a wonderful floral note. You can smell it forever. Very leathery in the mouth, tobacco and a very long, good finish. A little alcoholic this time. A really great rum and a nice piece of history, it's amazing what a good drink the sailors in the Royal Navy got to drink. Thanks to Bonn for this wonderful experience."
