"A wonderful rum truly true to its origin on Barbados. Fruity and herbal with some caramel and chocolate. A very well balance and complex rum. Should have bought a few extra bottles."
"würde ich blind nie als Barbados Rum erkennen, auch wenn der rockley still etwas anders ist aber hier ist es mir eindeutig zu medizinisch, rauchig, whisky lastig, mit einer seltsamen bitterkeit und Säure... insgesamt auch etwas zu alkoholisch und einfach nicht meins. Starke ähnlichkeit allerdings zum RA Rockley 2021!"
"Gute Qualität, aber für meinen Geschmack ein wenig leicht im Körper. Mittelmäßiger 2000er Rockley."
"I like this rum. The bottle is almost empty. A very clean distilled spirit, I’d say a column still rum with no mistakes done. As a result, all flavors are very subtile and somehow it reminds me of a slightly peated Caol Ila Whisky or a Port Ellen. It’s extremely well balanced and the ABV integration is very smooth. Not a typical Rum, but of high craftsmanship quality. The flavors we like with our Caronis and Hampdens are basically a result of tailings."
