“Amazing Rum!! I really enjoyed the glue/cognac note which comes from the french oak barrel, I guess. Also the fruity tastes of apple, pear and strawberries🤤 The barrel and ABV is integrated very well. Conclusion of my tasting: 2006<<<2005<2001 (Roberto style 😜)”

“A rum tasted at the WLP. A fruity, roasted and woody nose. Unfortunately a little rustic on the palate, the fruit then shines through, along with the herbaceousness. The finish is shimmering. A fine agricole!”
