Many find the combination of vibrant fruit, cooling mint, and a touch of bitterness truly memorable, with several mentioning it reminds them of certain TDL or Savanna rums. Most enjoy sipping it neat, especially for the price and complexity, calling it a worthy discovery among Mauritius releases.

    Schöne kirsch und rotfruchttöne gepaart mit Minze und Eukalyptus. Tolle Kombi. Sehr komplex. Mit der beste rum aus Mauritius den ich je hatte

    Frisch in der Nase. Eukalyptus, Menthol, Zitrus und ein Hauch Popcorn. Absurd smooth am Gaumen. Super cremiger Antritt der dann in Grapefruit übergeht bevor der Mund komplett von Eukalyptus und Menthol in Frische übergeht.

    What, only 11 years in the barrel? Would have held the R(h)um blind for significantly older. Therefore, good example of the fact that for the quality / taste / character fermentation may well be more decisive than the storage time, as I could learn in a Velier tasting at the 11th GRF (although only in an aside😉). Surprisingly deep and heavy and very adult on the palate, while the nose is quite restrained. A powerful lad that carries the fur inside. Reminds me distantly of a Savanna.Still runs under the radar, clear recommendation.

    Besser als der 13 Jährige Hammer Teil. Vielleicht zu hoch bewertet, aber genau mein Ding.
