"Boah, was für ein Muskelprotz mit Ausdauer! Ob das am sehr seltenen Chestnut Cask (insgesamt nur 6 Rums hier gelistet) liegt? Also dieser Rum ist definitiv nichts für schwache Gemüter, er beißt kräftig zu, fast zu kräftig, der Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein. Ich schmecke schwere dunkelrote Früchte, auch etwas typische Minze hintenraus. Überhaupt, der Abgaaaaang! Ich glaube, ich hatte noch nie einen Rum mit so einem langen und sich noch intensivierenden Abgang im Glas. Ein Rum-Schraubstock, der sich immer weiter schließt, das ist das Bild, was mir in den Kopf kommt. Tolle New-Grove-Bombe des Jahrgangs 2009, der mich noch nie enttäuscht hat!"
"Einen schönen SBS aus Mauritius hinterher. Die Nase ist überwiegend holzig, ich kann aber auch etwas Vanille erkennen. Am Gaumen auch viel Holz, es sind aber auch Kräuter und etwas Pfeffer vorhanden. Jedenfalls sehr lecker."
"This release has a kind of lightness to it but the chestnut cask definitely has made an impact. Overall a nice rum and the price tag is really good compared to what you get."
"The nose is quite nice, reminds me of Bourbon Whiskey with some nice fresh herbal notes in addition. On the palate it is quite powerful and mostly aligned with the nose. Same with the finish which is a bit short. The integration of its 54% is good but not great. Interesting wood, overall a really nice drop. Shout-out and thanks to Gunnar."
