“A rum tasted in a restaurant. A sweet nose of caramelized almonds and vanilla coconut with old wood, old leather.A palate with sweetness, broad and deep aromas. An old club house in a tropical climate with cups full of fruit.An incredible finish with flavors that play hide and seek.The empty glass sums it all up. A wonderful tropical Demerara experience.”

“Well, now it's time to taste one of the Unicorns you hear so much about, but rarely see in your glass... Big demerara profile of nuts, vanilla, coconut, cooked sugar, it's woody but pleasant and greedy. On the palate, it follows the same pattern, which is very good. So verdict: very, very good, but not necessarily better than other, less hard-to-find dark demerara. So very happy to be able to share this bottle for "only" 600€ 😅, tomorrow if I come across it again at the same price, I'd rather take 1 diamond CBH + 1 Skeldon + 1 Albion from El Dorado, all 3 are at the same level, or so equivalent...”
