"Considering how young this rum is, with this complex deep profile, one would actually have to assume a magician made it from secret ingredients."

"The nose I like much better than the taste. Reminds me a little of the Casamigos Reposado with its strong vanilla and caramel note and the minerality in the taste. Rum would not have been my first association in blind test."

"29.01.2022 Going through some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, fruity, faint medicinal, metallic, faint chocolate, light glue, apple, light orange. Palate Intense, faint wood, glue, medium spicy, fruity, overripe, mango, faint smoke. Finish Medium to long, faint wood, warm, light medicinal, light apple, faint melon. Extra note. This one needs to rest for a goos while and is definitely not for beginners."

"just looked up the tasting notes of the Encrypted III and IV again. The II is closer to the IV. On the nose, yeast pastry with powdered sugar on top, white wine, candied yellow fruit, also a bit earthy-nutty. On the palate also white wine, apricot brandy, pecan. In the finish oak barrel."
