    The bottled vintages and distilleries raised some expectations. I have to say, I really like the bottling. It's impossible to say exactly what's in it, but it tastes absolutely like Jamaica DNA and everything it needs.

    Tried at Whisky Live Paris and at Milano Whisky Festival, this is a 4 distilleries blend where I clearly recognise almost all the contributions (monymusk, long pond and worthy park) excepti new Yarmouth. Nose is glue and varnish driven with a sweet side that we find much more drinking, and it's clearly from worthy park. A nice sipping rum very satisfying to drink, just unfortunately not worth the price tag.

    Extremely sweet syrupy on the nose, then strangely sweet sour and salty and watery on the palate, quite unbalanced in my opinion. Not my cup of tea, sorry. The acidity and saltiness bother me the most.
