"Not bad, but not stunning either. Remains somewhat behind the concise 8-year-old caramel bomb in the Oloroso cask. Nose: vanilla, solid, seems older (83 points); Palate: vanilla again, some coconut, long and warm persistence (81 points). Is this a rum from Barbados? The question of origin unfortunately leaves one perplexed with all three bottlings - why on earth don't the wind millers state that?"
"Goes in the direction of Foursquare with nice barrel notes and some coconut."
"Somehow this manages to be completely uncompelling. Don't get me wrong, clearly people know how to distillate here. But in the end it falls too short on havijgbmuchbof a character for me to really praise it. It is in the range of core OB Foursquare"
"Die zweite Windmühle… Nase: sehr fruchtig-würzig-süß. Es überwiegen Kokos mit Sahnetoffee und Butterscotch, Zuckersirup und Kirsche, Aprikose sowie süß-sauerere Johannisbeere. Das neue Holzfass liefert ordentlich Vanille und eure ganz leichte Rauch-Note. Wieder zu viel süßes Toffee für mich, aber recht delikat. 7,7 Gaumen: holzig-würzig mit Lakritze und Vanille. Traube, Pfirsich und Orangenschale, leicht bitter und etwas sauer. Der Pfirsich dominiert hier. Ganz ok, aber es fehlt etwas Tiefgang. 7,7"
