How does this rum taste?
The No. 8 (Cavavin Belval) VSG is an exceptional Guyanese rum produced in 1990 at the famed Enmore distillery. Aged for 30 years, this limited edition (213 bottles) treasure is bottled at cask strength with a robust 53.8% ABV. Distilled from molasses using a historic pot still, it reveals an enticing fragrance of barrel notes, allspice, and lemon. Its palate offers roasted flavors with hints of black pepper and anise, rounded off by a fumy, warm finish. Users note its woody and spicy character, but some find it lacks complexity and is overly priced for its profile. Ideal for those seeking an exploration of the Versailles distillation style with a unique, aged spirit.

Nice, classic Versailles profile with excellent balance of pencil shavings, tea, citrus, wet wood and tart spice notes of pepper, licorice and anise. Definitely brings in rough edges, resulting in an exciting complexity as none of the notes swing out negatively. The VSG 90 profile is of consistently high quality, to which this bottling also impressively testifies.
You can taste all the Versailles wood pot still in this rum! Dark, woody, smoky and lots of spice to go along with it! The only note that doesn't make me give it a higher rating is that a little monochord throughout the tasting but if you want to feel what a pot still in wood can offer you this is definitely a rum to try!
A rather round Versailles that is on the astringent, woody side. Rather few fruity notes, little pencil. It is a little too flat for me, it lacks a little complexity.
a tedious process and dull finish. The price is out of line (seriously) and as a "VSG" it deserves to do better, especially considering it's 30 years old. Nobilis should put more effort into Versailles and show more sincerity. I won't try "MEC" at such a high price.
