"Puhh das ist richtig schwerer Tobak... Unter White Port cask hätte ich mir deutlich mehr helle Früchte erwartet und nicht so eine Wucht aus dunklen Aromen wie sauer pelziger Brombeere, kräftigen Tee Bitternoten, Lakritze, Kaffeesatz und Leder und überraschend trocken mit einer abgefahrenen öligen, Textur die ewig am Gaumen hängen bleibt. Insgesamt ein spannendes Experiment aber leider nicht so Recht mein Fall. Ich gebe auch zabo mit dem Duft nach Knete Recht, sehr irritierend!😆"

"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."

"Brombeere und Pflaume sind eine leckere Kombi. Das Double Cask Aging gibt dem Rum einen angenehmen Schliff ohne das die Guyana DNA verloren geht."

"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."
