“For me, clearly the strongest of the three current Windmill bottlings. As if you put your nose in a bag of butterscotch candies (86 points) and lick with your tongue at liquid, still warm caramel (82 points). Really extraordinary in its uniqueness, how do you get something like that without additives!?very high recognition value.”

“Decidement, ces finish sherry ou olorosso, ce n'est pas mon truc. Je trouve que ça finit toujours sur une note amère plutôt désagréable. Dommage car les notes d'expresso en fin de bouche de ce rhum suffisaient pour l'amertume :) Édit : impression non confirmée à la seconde dégustation. C'est plutôt gourmand et caramélisé. Le raison est là mais me paraît moins amer. Et finalement, j'ai plutôt aimé.”

“Angenehm zu trinken, am Gaumen reichlich Toffee, dazu etwas Vanille, Eichenholz und Milchsüsse. Geradliniges Profil, das rund und gefällig daherkommt.”
