“This sample arrive with he previous one and I'd loved a bottle of this one as well. A very good take on Jamaica indeed. The nose is funky with ester and fermentation notes followed by fruits and sweet vanilla. The palate is also funky with ester, tar and varnish followed by fruit and woody vanilla. The finish is long and warm with wood, ester and lovely fruit.”

“3rd Jamaican Rum Sponge that I have tasted. The first 2 were very good. The 3rd one is on the same line. The nose is rich and bewitching. Fruit, fruit, fruit, funky. In the mouth, the alcohol is there, spicy. But the fruit is present: a sweet pineapple, a very ripe banana. Then some wood and pepper at the end of the mouth. This fruit remains very present in mouth after the end of the tasting. It is frankly very pleasant. A candy which stings!”

“I loved the nose. Funky as hell with a super well integrated alcohol. The mouthfeel is great too but I didn't find it as pleasant as the nose.”
