“After pouring into the glass, the rum immediately takes possession of the surrounding air with thick, heavy swaths. Closer to the glass I find sour cherry, red berries and cassis. The fruit compote is accompanied by very pleasant and balanced roasted and barrel notes. Pleases me excellently. I have compared on the fly with some other St Lucia but this one is a blast on the nose! On the palate, the tannins clearly have the upper hand: lots of spice, oak, leather, salty licorice. The fruit is only subtly in the background and from the bitter category. The rum reminds me of old Armagnac on the palate. The ever-long aftertaste is clearly dominated by barrel and spice. I would have liked the fruits of the nose to reappear but so there is a certain break between nose and palate. The bitter notes, however, are not in the unpleasant range for my sensation. Regardless, an excellent, intense, powerful rum.”

“RdL vs Kirsch: Great cinema, what arrives here on the nose of RdL: red fruits, chutney, dried fruit, menthol notes, tobacco, caramel. And everything plays together wonderfully homogeneously. One notices the long aging there. The kirsch in the other glass has a completely different profile, which was not so clear to me without the direct comparison: the kirsch comes much more through spices such as allspice, nutmeg, anise (peppernut), also a little towards root vegetables or fennel. On the palate, the RdL comes more over dirty notes and charred barrel. The kirsch is a bit more 'mellow', more on spice. Overall, the RdL clearly came out ahead, on par with the Nectar 15th. The only downer: the blatantly exorbitant price.”

“#4155 This is a really nice and heavy Chairman's Reserve. The John Doore still has some tricks up its sleeve and they're really released here. Lightly fruity with roasted wood without it being too dominant. Spicy dry palate nd very good ABV integration. Draws really nice slow moving curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some coffee and leather as well as very light iodine.”
