Despite the "low" ester content, a real bomb with lots of fruit on a wooden bowl. If it weren't for the price, all Jamaica fans wouldn't have to think twice.
Nase ordentlich Wumms, ehrlicher jamaikanischer Antritt, verspricht alles; Zunge genauso, 60 charakterstarke Prozente, Funk pur, Hammer, nix für Anfänger, leider zu teuer
27.08.2022 German Rum Festival Oh dear, I totally forgot to add this one, maybe because of the price tag it had. A pretty good rum but the price tag is really out of bounds compare to other similar bottlings. But of course "Rare Cask" adds to the value 😊 Notes. Ester, polish and overripe fruit on the nose. Palate is oily and fresh with lots of fruit and wood. Finish is medium to long with, fruit, ester and wood with a light smoky note.
