Bottled by Silver Seal with a high ABV of 58.8%, this limited edition of only 179 bottles embodies a unique profile, with strong honey, smoky, and vanilla notes, accentuated by mango and herbal undertones.

"Absolute royalty from Barbados - the "Rockley" style reaches its highest form of art here. Smoke, honey, fresh fruit, plus green notes - all this with perfectly integrated alcohol and without ever developing any form of heaviness. In one form: Formidable."

"Compared to the RA, Plantation and Nobilis, the SS is for me in 3rd place.The Silver Seal needs a lot of time in the glass to develop. Alcohol is perhaps not absolutely top integrated, but it comes thereby very powerful. An excellent representative of the 86 vintage!"

"Part 6/8 of our 1986 Rockley tasting: Silver seal, awesome! Lime/peach-passion fruit/mint/black tea in liquid, plus some medicinal, dirty notes and incredibly intense and balanced! mega awesome number and one of the best rums I've ever had and will probably have!🤤❤️🇧🇧🍯🥭🍑 for me on a par with the RA but much more fruity and velvety. absolute grenade! Update: blindly I almost typed it as st. Lucia Vendome, due to the sau cool honeycomb, wax note and the rather dirty intense profile. Incredibly cool stuff!!!🙌🏼"
