    Two VRWs side-by-side: V&M for M&E Singapore and HV for LMDW Singapore: On the nose both are quite balanced with vanilla, wood and tropical fruits. They truely need some time to breath to develop the classic VRW moellow honey and fruit nose. V&M comes with a bit more wood on the nose versus a bit lore punch and fruitiness on the HV. On the palate the pictures are similar. Smooth honey fruitiness with notes from the barrel (ie vanilla, woodieness and some chocolate). Again the V&M is a bit more in the dark side with the HV providing a bit more punch and intensity in the fruit notes. Both are extremly well balanced and round. Very enjoyably. Today the HV is a bit ahead for me.

    The tasting glass is completely unsuitable, so this is only a preliminary rating. Very nice, varied nose, a bit of everything: tropical fruit, barrel, spice. Alcohol tweaks a little. A super smooth mouthfeel on the palate, downright creamy! Again lots of tropical fruit and even more barrel and spice. Very balanced and hardly any alcoholic spiciness. The finish is then mainly barrel and spice and hardly any fruit, which is a shame. All in all, an excellent, heavy Jamaican!

    A very deep, solid nose. Polished, nutty, tropical fruit. Beautifully melted, therefore difficult to grasp. The alcohol stings a little. Warm and powerful. Then full force in the mouth. Alcoholic burn, pepper, wood. The papillae beg for mercy 😜😜😜😜 Beautiful, long finish. Very woody and spicy, plenty of pepper fresh from the grinder and then an effect like Sechuan pepper. Yes, the finish is the best part. I'm really not a fan of this 🇯🇲 devil's stuff, but I really like this one.

    Significantly rarer than the NRJ Vale Royal 2006, but no major differences. Slightly drier and more mature, therefore less drinkable. Overall, a little smoke and hardly any fruit. More rough edges instead. I like the NRJ a touch better, but that's subjective on the day. Second tasting: Great rum!
