„After the two Versailles drunk tonight, I am not disoriented. The profile is not so far, even if the nose is much more fruity. We find in mouth the woody/bitter/empryeumatic side counterbalanced by herbal notes. Here we also find a rather floral note. It is very good.“

„Now this one almost brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful rum with very good ABV integration. Well balanced and lightly fruity and warm/oily on the palate. It draws the most wonderful curtains in the glass and the empty glass is put of this world. They really found the right barrel here 😊“

„Formidable profile. Citrus, fresh green notes, gentle minerality and olives, wood - really impressive. The only criticism in my eyes is the somewhat too concise roasted aroma.“

„Without direct comparison, one of the best Lucias I have drunk. One still notices the beastliness and complexity of the legendary 1999 of Blackadder, but in a much more toned down and rounded form.“

„More unusual but very tasty. Specifically, the texture in the mouth is much smoother than the St. Lucia rums I know. Flavorfully very nice and versatile and nuanced. Great“

„the nose reminds me a bit of Savanna HERRs / Grand Aromes with red fruits, vanillle, tobacco, fruit bread, leather. On the palate leather, tobacco, cocoa, barrel and floral notes. Very tasty! This is hard to top!“

„Am truly not a fan of rum from Saint Lucia, but this just blows me away! To smell and drink the is an extraordinary experience. This rum simply has everything (in a balanced ratio), what makes a rum.Blind tasted I would have held him for a very old, excellent Versailles.He was highly recommended to me, I highly recommend him to you. And it is indeed still on the initial market!“

„Ain't that stated 22 yrs on the bottles?! Anyway.... Usually Saint-Lucia from a certain age are often too woody and the bitterness often spoils the wonderful fruitiness. It's not the case here! Of course there is some oakiness but it takes the form of nice tannins like in a well infused Assam tea and a slight astringency coming along. So you can enjoy the fruitiness to the fullness. Bonbon Arlequin and Quince jelly (the one my father use to make). Long final. One of my top 3 Saint-Lucia so far!“
