“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.”

“Rundes Profil mit einerseits süssen Noten von Vanillezucker, Karamell und andererseits einem frischen Potpourri von sowohl tropisch-zitrischen Früchten als auch roten Beeren, Mango und Äpfeln. Auch das Fass meldet sich mit milden Holzaromen an der Nase sowie dezenter Bitterkeit am Gaumen an. Der Hearts mit der präsentesten Fruchtnote. Sehr schön.”

“Exciting... you can clearly see the somewhat younger age.... not quite so round less barrel influence ... Floral notes, somehow solvent and glue. Somewhat bitter and rough, at least pure. I will test it in May Tai.”
