    We preferred it to Plenipotenzario and Caroni 21. Insanely fruity, heavy, dirty and intense. That was a sample so I puchased full bottle. I will update my review later.

    Intense, deep aroma spectrum with a classic TDL profile for the vintage. Still with quite inviting caramel notes on the nose, which give way to a powerful mélange of cooling mint, ripe, citrusy-sweet tropical fruit, crisp spicy notes and smoky wood influences on the palate. Round, present, intense, demanding - absolutely worthwhile. A successful first selection for the Up Spirits Club.

    Wow, great part, the best for today to finish. Lots of herbs on the nose, mint and eucalyptus for example, but black tea is also recognizable. The palate is also predominantly herbal, but the 62.9% is barely recognizable. Top rum.

    I think the ratings on rum x are excessively low. Crazy value for money, an explosion in the mouth of mint and orange that you then find again on the palate with a slight extra woody note.. To be bought by the case!
