The palate reveals layers of wood, vanilla, and dried fruits with a noticeable bitter undertone.

Brombeere und Pflaume sind eine leckere Kombi. Das Double Cask Aging gibt dem Rum einen angenehmen Schliff ohne das die Guyana DNA verloren geht.
Another nice interpretation by using port cask finish. The finish is there with a nice fruit addition. Very light dryness on the palate, but overall a nice profile.
Actually in of the nicer expressions of those finished DDLs imo. The finish is quite dominating, but playing nicer with the Versailles than in some other bottlings. Still very dry towards the finish, but still enjoyable.
Does not reach by far the quality of Albion 2004 or Skeldon 2000 - this is mainly due to the unnecessary finish - what I often also criticize whiskies, can be well transferred to this rum. The price is a joke.
