„Does not fall in the blind direct comparison with the Velier Albions. Classic Albion notes of sweet vanilla, oak and caramel, but with a somewhat too noticeable bitter note on the palate, without which it would go even higher. Serious alternative in the (still) tolerable price range.“

„I love it! Chocolate caramel with wood and much more like tropical fruit. In direct comparison to the ED Skeldon maybe less banana in the smell and in the finish the Skeldon is more toasty. But still, the Albion is wonderful and complex :-) Guyana rum is something great!“

„Dense and intense nose. On the palate also delightful. Not 100 different flavors but those that are there are wonderfully present. For me it's a tad too woody, which pushes the rest slightly into the background. Alcohol top integrated.“

„Heavy, dark, oily. For me, the incarnation of completely tropically aged rums from Guyana. The parallel tasted Skeldon (RX122) seems to me a little more "aggressive", edgier, this one against round and pleasing. Update 2022-10-07: Christmas is approaching and that apparently affects my taste perception as well. Now I taste so delicious gingerbread in the finish that the rum promptly gets one point more. 😋“

„Dark is probably the keyword for this rum. Tropical wood, chocolate, coffee, caramel, light sweetness, light bitter notes. There are not so many tropically matured Demeraras at such a good price....“

„A superb Albion, which I would describe as an iron hand in a velvet glove. There are very sweet, caramelized, chocolate, vanilla, caffeine and spicy aromas on the nose that mingle with the fruity sweetness. This sweetness is found on the palate, with a dark, slightly toasted structure and a hint of licorice. The alcohol is absolutely not perceptible, but we feel all the intensity and subtlety that this rum gives off. The finish, quite long, is more spicy, dry and tannic, but also offers very appreciable notes of freshness. A superb rum with an incredible quality/price ratio, especially compared to the Albion from Velier.“

Empty glass, English club atmosphere with old leather and varnished wood furniture and a fireplace in the background.“
