“glad to have tasted this 🦄. From memory, I would say the RA 1986 WIRD was even more on honey and smoky notes. The Plantation has a broader fruit palette to offer, with mango, papaya and green tea. Distilled exclusively on the Gregg farm, it is idle to argue whether this makes it a 'real' Rockley....”

“According to Alexandre Gabriel, the 1986 definitely does not come from the same still as the 2000 Vulcan Still Rum. Nevertheless, it combines a this herbal component, which is otherwise so rare in Barbados rum. It's my first 1986 Rockley Style, but I can already see why the profile has its fans. In fact, I've never detected such harmonious honey in a rum. Behind the honey there is vanilla and saffron, a hint of tea and lush tropical fruit. In the mouth there is honey again, surprisingly intense esters that bring a lot of tart tropical fruit. A herbaceousness with tobacco, saffron and tea lingers here as well.The finish is much longer and more intense than the 2000The 2000 more exciting, but the 1986 more complete”

“Amazingly fruity nose for such old rum, the damp forest floor blends into a tea plantation. Mango and cigar cavort in the mouth. Then comes a honeyed bread with an indescribably velvety finish.”
