Not too bad though I would have liked more complexity to a rum this age. Fruity with spices and really nice wood. I like that you get roasted coffee on the nose.

A bit fresher on the nose than the 1998. The sweet vanilla, caramel and grassy notes remain, along with tropical fruits. The palate reveals a pleasant melange of fruit, wood and spices, but lacks the final refinement.

Beautiful nose. Wood, coffee, lots of caramel and then dried fruit. Balanced, not complex.In the mouth it continues right away. Crisp and warm. Some sweetness and very drinkable.Nothing extraordinary, but a very good rum. Certainly goes well with a cigar.

Great VSGB Vertical live tasting by and with Luca Gargano. 10/22/2022, 17:03.Tropically aged for 21 years. Rare to find.Nose: intense, balanced and really tasty. Age really does the nose good. Old, fragrant sandalwood with a nice woody acidity and a subtle vinegar note. Black currant with blood orange, banana and cherry. Plus caramel, vanilla and a hint of Maggi background.Palate: seems and remains a bit thin, but has a pleasant woody bitter-salty attack, through lemon zest and currant to some chocolate, licorice to grass. No soap! Quite good in comparison.Place:N: 3/10G: 1/10

Richtig starke Nase. Am Gaumen fehlt etwas die Komplexität im Vergleich zum 1998er Platz 2 der Serie für mich.
