    "For me, the positive surprise from the third Piracy release. The usual profile of long tropically matured molasses rums from ex-bourbon casks comes to the fore here in its purest form. What does that mean? On the one hand, there is nothing new here in terms of aroma. Belize or Foursquare serve a comparable spectrum; nonetheless, an even more tart tonality brings in new echoes here. It is precisely the familiar aromas of caramel, vanilla, oak and spices that are present here in an appealing form. The alcohol is still somewhat dominant at the beginning, but after a little time in the glass it gives way to the other aromas and reveals a good balance of elegant sweetness, oak wood influences and subtle spicy aromas. If this represents the usual quality of Westerhall releases aged in tropical conditions for a long time, I'm excited to see what else awaits us in the future."

    "Wahrscheinlich das beste was ich bis dato aus Grenada getrunken habe. Könnte blind auch als Rum aus Belize durchgehen. Hat fast schon was von flüssigem Nutella nur halt nicht süß! Kein Komplexitäts-monster aber gut. Andererseits ist da fast jeder Barbados Venezuela oder Belize Rum spannender🫠"

    "Für mich ein ziemlich nichtssagender, neutraler Rum. Im Endeffekt Neutralalkohol, der lange gelagert wurde. Alkohol sticht schon etwas heraus."

    "Un’ottima bevuta. Rum ben bilanciato, ma al contempo strutturato e complesso. Peccato per il finale, che considerato anche l’invecchiamento poteva essere un po’ più persistente. Comunque resta una bevuta veramente piacevole ed interessante."
