    A great harmony of (green) fruit and woody spice on the nose. After standing for an hour, a wonderful complexity develops that you could sniff forever. Elegant, spicy and (despite the reduction) not too thin on the palate. Very dry. There are also a few floral notes. Unfortunately, the finish is relatively unspectacular and cannot quite maintain the high level of the nose. A piece of liquid history! However, the finish is too thin for a top rating and I feel it lacks that certain something.

    This is a spot on rum and I really like the roasted oak from nose to finish. Wonderfully fruity with spices. It does benefit from resting 15-20 minuttes. A big surprise having the opportunity to taste such an old rum.

    Wow, powerful and expressive rum. Balanced mixture between citric and tropical-sweet fruit notes, wood influence, spices...very harmonious without being boring. Really good.

    Classy, thin, dangerously mouth watering
