“The expectations are already very high after the review on whiskyfun.com - and thus already on the road in somewhat unfair dimensions. No, we are not on the level of the Demerara king class, as the age, the pipe tobacco notes and also the deep mahogany in the glass let hope (at least these thoughts slumbered in me). But we nevertheless have the distinct pleasure of an expressive and very appealing rum, whose imposing age does not introduce any distracting bitter notes, but contributes to the aromatic density. On the palate, the sweetness reminiscent of Paxarette increasingly gains the upper hand over the probably manageably complex distillate in its origin, which on the one hand means that we are not advancing to the absolute Olympus here, but on the other hand we are still on an extremely high level. Summa summarum: A very appealing release that offers a lot of fun.”

“Exciting rum! On the nose I have cane sugar, lots of coffee, slightly plum. The palate is dominated by coffee, caramel, meat and tobacco. Surprisingly full-bodied for 46% with a long finish. However, the meaty note bothers me. I'm also skeptical as to whether the rum isn't a little sweetened. I also wonder where, as an unknown rum bottler, you can suddenly get hold of a 50-year-old rum at such a humane price. Finally, the question of which distillery this rum should come from? A bit many question marks... The second time around, I find the sweetness, especially in the finish, very disturbing and unnatural.”

“A very nice rum with impressive age. I was actually expecting more bitterness. But the rum has a little too much sweetness for me. Very enjoyable.”
