    "Dégustation online RumX et Swell de Spirit, mars 2024. Du bois vernis au premier nez, de la mirabelle et de l’abricot, de la banane sur-mûre et de la mangue, du caramel au beurre salé. Les fruits dominent en bouche, surtout l’abricot et la chair de mirabelle. Du boisé mais aussi une belle fraîcheur. La finale est longue et partagée entre les arômes sombres et la fraîcheur et les fruits. Un rhum complexe, évolutif, équilibré. Une très belle sélection."

    "Swell Masterclass RumX 28.03.2024 Ich mag dieses ITP Mark, obwohl dies nicht unbedingt der typische Long Pond von der Stange ist. Finde es eine sehr gut gelungene Abfüllung die auch im Blend von Mika ihren Platz gefunden hat. Super Auswahl."

    "Chapeau an Swell de Spirits! Bei diesem Long Pond sucht man vergebens nach dem bekannten Jamaica funk mit Ananas & Co. An der Nase eher mit Kräutern und Menthol auffällig, gejt es am Gaumen genauso weiter. Hinzu wird es etwas holzig und immer wieder mit Menthol/Minze. Ich schmecke hier auch schwarzen Tee und Pfirsich. Stets etwas pfeffrig, bwsonders im Abgang. Kein Überflieger, aber sehr interessant! Glaube das hatten ich die letzten Tage öfter: Eine lange Standzeit könnte ihm sehr gut tun!"

    "Oh wow, ein top Rum. Geht für mich heute erstmals in den 9er Bereich. In der Nase hat man hier eine schöne Fruchtnote wir in der Masterclass gesagt wurde sind das hier die gelben Früchte wie Pfirsich oder Aprikose. Still 5 to go :)"
