    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex dried fruit and caramel aroma
    • Smooth, well-integrated alcohol
    • Approachable at high ABV

    Rich notes of dried fruit and caramel shine through this 14-year-old Plantation St. Lucia, complemented by layers of vanilla, woody spice, and a subtle roasted character. The community highlights its good balance, complex nose, and approachable palate, even at 60.2% ABV. This profile, leaning towards sweet, dessert-like flavours with gentle hints of chocolate and coffee, appeals to those seeking a refined but inviting pour. Worth a sip for fans of balanced, fruit-forward rums.

    "Unusually sweet and drinkable St Lucia! Could pass blind as a Venezuela single cask. Nice notes of caramel, dark chocolate, herbs and hay, fruit bread and dried fruit and then some cappuccino, black pepper and coconut on the finish! I like it and it's easy to drink, but overall it somehow reminds me more of Foursquare or Venezuela than of St Lucia... Could totally pass for Foursquare or Venezuela blind. Still very tasty!"

    "Second tasting: overall impression much weaker today (-5) Nose: Wow! Super complex! A mixture of Agricole and Guyana, great! Mouth: sweet and spicy and also super complex, I like it very much! Finish: continues with an emphasis on dark chocolate It's hard for me to capture everything this rum has to offer, but it's one of the best I've tasted so far. There is still enough in my sample for a second tasting 😁"

    "Calendrier de l’Avent Rum Friendly Club, jour 5. Un nez pĂątissier avec de la vanille, de la poire blette et d’autres fruits jaunes, de l’alcool et du bois de cĂšdre bien prĂ©sents. L’entrĂ©e de bouche est alcoolisĂ©e mais aussi aromatique avec les mĂȘmes qu’au nez. L’alcool est un peu trop marquĂ© pour l’expression des fruits mais il donne une trĂšs belle vivacitĂ© Ă  ce rhum. La finale est un peu courte mais s’y exprime une certaine douceur avec une petite aciditĂ© qui donne de l’équilibre Ă  la fin."

    "I like Chairmans, and this is a good one. Fruity Caramel, complex but in good balance. The end is quite woody, though."
