    very cool st Lucia and incredibly balanced! i like it very much! especially this fresh pineapple-mint note, caramelized coconut chips, slight acidity & hints of red berries and subtle nougat, toffee and allspice and various citrus fruits💣 super tasty, for me my absolute drinking strength reference at st Lucia!🙏🇱🇨 Blindly, you would rather think of Barbados here.

    An ingenious everyday rum, with lots of fruit (esters) and chocolate. A little caramel, toast and spices round off the whole thing. There are some similarities with Barbados, Jamaica and Guyana. Very tasty, exactly to my taste! It could be a bit better in the mouth, but the nose is brilliant! I'm not sure if you can still get this rum, but the price was very good at the time.

    Slightly smoky vanilla-pineapple flavors. Once again a typical representative of the "goes well with dark chocolate" category.
