    The tasted one is from batch 002. Have also a bottle from batch 001, but haven’t tasted it yet. My guide during my visit at the distillery told me that they’re most pleased with the Port Cask Finish, of the three, in batch 002. I’ll drink to that! It has a fantastic nose and the taste is very distinct with great flavors and a very pleasant finish.

    Delicious rum with an elegant port finish at an incredibly good price. Round rum with red fruit, port wine, chocolate, spices and caramel. The only drawback is the alcoholic sharpness in the mouth and finish. Very good, I really like it considering the general conditions!

    You are guilty as charged Mr.Persson, for your review of this rhum. 🙏 8,5:The nose is pleasant from the beginning, with a profile that is fairly typical of the English style. Here's a touch of strongly roasted coconut, white wood with a hint of brown tobacco, leather, then toffee with a hint of coffee. As orange peel provides refreshment, it's joined by dark, quite intense, sweet tannic prunes and roasted nuts. Aeration gives us an even fuller-bodied, roasted side, with coffee and well-roasted nuts. At the heart of the rum, a concentration of beeswax and encaustic make it intense and brilliant. All these toasty notes are in fact a shell housing a vibrant core. 8,5:On the palate, this encaustic aroma swings between beeswax and more rounded medicinal/herbal notes. These aromas seem to come from a fine concentration of wood, offering intensity and a frankly savory side. Roasted nuts are drizzled with battery syrup, sultanas and seasoned with a hint of salt, always in the direction of serious gourmandise, tropical fruits come to the fore with pineapple, maracuja, later dried prunes wave us swiftly. 8,1:The finish is relatively discreet, a bit dry, with a few hints of vanilla tobacco and toasted coconut..
