"Relatively classic 70s Demerara profile with heavy dried fruits, plus a somewhat harsher spicy note here compared to the 75. Therefore, for me slightly behind the representative distilled a year later."
"Great rum! Heavy, intense and spicy. In the blind tasting a tick behind the 1975."
"Überragend und immer wieder beeindruckend demonstriert zu bekommen, wie wenig heutige PMs etwas mit den alten Demeraras zu tun haben. Sehr intensiver und komplexer Antritt. Da wären überreife dunkle Früchte und getrocknete Früchte wie Pflaume und Waldbeeren. Reichlich dunkle süße wie Cola, Karamell und brauner Zucker kommen hinzu. Und natürlich HOLZ, aber sehr schönes nasses Holz, das mit dem Rest wunderbar harmoniert. Im Mund dann sehr kräftig, ölig und erst mal süß. Die dunkle Früchte sind noch da, überlassen dann aber langsam der sehr würzigen holzigkeit mit einer schönen Bitterkeit das Feld Ergänzung: Verkostung September letzten Jahres. Inzwischen kann er im Vergleich mit diversen anderen PM aus den 60ger u 70ger kaum noch mithalten. Trotzdem ist das immer noch ein sehr guter Rum"
