    "So whisky is my main drink since 2009. The love for rum started a few years ago. Though I love peated whisky...peated rum can feel a bit too artificial at times. Let's see. Not too much peat in the nose. It's more on the back. A bit ashy. Dry coal. But overal quite fresh. Even a bit agricoly. Peach. Wood. Not bad and certainly not onesided. Taste: a more present peat smoky. Dry ash still. Not dominant. Dried apricot. A tad meaty. Leather. So when reading the other notes I was expecting something heavily peated. But compared to Islay whisky this is way more subtle. Nice fruity notes. Dry. More ashy than peat/smoke. Blend probably contains Panama and Barbados rum. It does not lean towards a particular geography. Pretty much an easy yet enjoyable sipper."

    "8:The first nose lifts us like a gust of wind, straight to Islay . A peat fire coats a rum with whisky accents. The two spirits meet on the fruit front, with pears, peaches and mangoes and melons. There is actually freshly baked bread to be scent, the cereals are coated in molasses, butterscotch and honey, it gradually softens and becomes more like real rum with herbal notes despite some hints of smoked meat, pancetta. Aeration softens the nose that rounds out on vanilla and stewed, even jammy fruit. The smoky, iodine notes are present with hints of pepper, now more fermented agricole with notes of cane pulp. 8:The palate is very greedy, very agricole like with flavors rushing and jostling in the opening-ashy, spicy, then fruit overtakes vanilla in this luminous torrent, before the smoky, peaty wood complementing everything. The mid-palate is sweet, savory, with ripe exotic fruits.Then it moves on to more powerful, iodized and deep notes of molasses fermentation and olive. 8:The finish is sweet and chocolaty, with a greasy, oily sensation and agricole notes like berries, blackcurrant, candies, smoke and smooth."

    "Intense nose of camphorated peat/very smoky. On the palate, there's a profusion of smoke and peat, with hints of agricultural rum (vanilla) and big aroma (red fruit) in the background. Medium finish on peat and gunpowder... A profusion of smoke and peat well suited to mixology for this welcome cocktail. Now to the real subject of the evening: Italy, and more specifically Samaroli... Show must go on ..."

    "A wacky experience with Lafroaig that almost made me want to drink whisky! A pretty cool product, it's all or nothing for rum lovers, even if you can still smell the caramel."
