“#bottlekill 🥲 extremely round rum for such a young age and the high alcohol strength. Grenade. still for me one of the best PLV cask strength rums on the market. ❤️🙏🇦🇬 compared to the new english harbour straight From the cask this one is ne track ahead as it has much more flavors to offer and I like it even better overall, more fruit, more power and more complexity.💥 My absolute #1 Antigua rum! Too bad I did not get here at the time for the ridiculous uvp of ~60€ directly ne box. Simply delicious!”

“Non amo i rum a distillazione a colonna a causa del forte sentore di vaniglia e caramello che predominano su tutto, questo ne ha la giusta miscelazione. Un buon rum, ma non mi convince a pieno. Acquistato a 55 euro, non lo comprerei assolutamente ad un prezzo maggiore. Purtroppo nel mondo dei rum di un certo livello c'è troppa speculazione anche su rum di dubbie qualità.”
