"Interesting nose! The wooden pot stills are clearly noticeable, once the rum had some time to breath and steps beyond the strong initial solvent notes. Yet there is more to it. Additional fruits (citrus-y) and a hint of esters (DHE mind you, not Jamaican funk). Very interesting twist with quite some complexity. Similar picture on the palate. The blend provides an interesting twist on know Demerara profils from the wooden pots. Lots of fruits and an intense dark chocolate note are present. Yet, similarly to the other BB&R single barrel, this is very sweet. Here it is not as intense compared to the older bottling but still a factor to consider negatively in my book. Again very smooth and easy to drink despite its high ABV. This is interesting stuff out of DDL and far more engaging and exiting compared to some previous releases blends and cask finishes. Very happy to see stuff like this."

"Fruchtiger, tropisch gereifter Demerara, der neben der MPRS auch Anteile der beiden Wooden Pots (PM und Versailles) sowie DHE enthält. Frucht und die Pots stehen im Vordergrund. Mir persönlich hat aber der neue LBI/DHE von El Dorado bis jetztvon allen DHE entgaltenden Rums am besten gefallen."

"Noch etwas jung und wild. Alkohol präsent, die Demerara-Süsse hält das Profil leider nicht ganz im Zaum. Kein schlechter Rum, für Demerara Single Casks aber klar unterdurchschnittlich."

"Eins vorweg: Ein Ester-Monster braucht man hier nicht zu erwarten. Die erste Geige spielt eine intensive Karamellnote, um die herum sich die typischen Marker der Pot Stills gesellen. Der Rum ist schwer und süß, der Alkohol hervorragend integriert. Trotz allem ist mir die Karamellnote etwas zu dominant, somit liegt das Schwesterfass aus 2009, trotz des geringeren ABV, für mich in Summe vorne. Trotzdem ein Rum, der in Bezug auf DDL Hoffnung macht und dabei mit 70 £ sehr fair bepreist ist."
