    Interesting grassy taste

    Erinnert an Floki Sheep Dung 😖

    On The Rocks: On the nose a pleasant sweetness and Sherry notes with a subtle oak and spice undertone. Taste reveals an immediate spice and oak with a subtle sweetness with fruit that goes a little bitter into the finish. There is a pleasant Sherry presence in the taste that disappears in the finish. Finish is long with the oak and bourbon spice and slight bitterness continuing. Overall this is another flavour bomb release that is only good in small quantities. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose dusty old warehouse. Taste reveals a nice subtle sweetness and Sherry presence. You could drink a larger glass of this mixed but it would be a shame.

    Very unspectacular rum. Good as a daily sipper or paired with a desert and coffee Lacks in complexity and body. Miles away from the 2007 versions I’ve tried so far.
