“On the nose a great combination of fruits (cherry, apples, mango), citrus and sweet notes (caramel, vanilla). Quite dry on the palate with red fruits (cherries again) and spicy wood notes. Little esters, but a pronounced spiciness and creaminess. Great Jamaican rum with little funk but power.”

“Round profile with, on the one hand, sweet notes of vanilla sugar, caramel and, on the other, a fresh potpourri of both tropical citrus and red berries, mango and apples. The barrel also announces itself with mild wood aromas on the nose as well as subtle bitterness on the palate. Very nice.”

“Exciting... one notices clearly the still somewhat younger age.... not quite so round less barrel influence ... Floral notes , somehow solvent. Somewhat bitter and gruff .”
