The molasses comes from Dom. Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels between five and eight years before blended and bottled. In my opinion is this an outstanding everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

Très correct. Belle expression pour un 5 ans après ça reste trèès doux et pas assez fruité à mon goût. Un rhum accessible et l'occasion de de découvrir Antigua.

Für mich ist das eine der besten Rums im Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Man darf natürlich für den Preis nichts außergewöhnliches erwarten. Aber es ist ein sehr schöner Alltagsrum. Ölig, sehr ausgewogen, der Alkohol wurde super eingebunden. Der wird wohl öfter in meiner Hausbar landen.

Der Rum hat einen hellen Goldton. Es riecht süßlich, etwas nach Sherry und Honig, sehr angenehm. Geschmacklich schon etwas Richtung Whisky, kaum Süße im ersten Augenblick, später im Abgang kommt etwas davon zum Vorschein. Der Abgang ist kurz bis mittellang, eine leichte Schärfe. Ein angenehmer Tropfen.
