„The nose on tropical fruits well candied, buttered, spicy and metallic, the whole butter vanilla brings us a pretty pastry and greedy side all that slightly wooded. After 15/20 minutes it is rather red fruits which arrive with a touch of milk chocolate. The mouth is directly fruity, metallic, spicy and greedy like the nose. The final fades on the same notes as the mouth with a small smoked, chocolate and honeyed side which come to be added. A very wise Jamaican but still very aromatic for such a low titration! 🇯🇲“

„Compared to the successor RX3128: Fruitier, younger and sweeter nose. On the palate, a great flavor palette of banana, toasty spicy notes and a slight saltiness. This is fruitier, smoother and I really like the sweet banana note that runs through! Overall, I like it a little better than the successor, but I like the even younger 5 year LROK best“
