    Très étonnant ! Un côté fumé, grillé persistant tout le long. Je suis habitué à cela dans les whiskys écossais mais pas dans les rhums…. Mais la je retrouve un petit fumé type lagavulin. Dans l ensemble c est bon, mais il demande à être pas mal aéré. Je changerai probablement ma note lors d une seconde dégustation.

    Dunkel und intensiv. Die Rauchnote ist in der Nase noch eher dezent. Am Gaumen dann flüssiger Aschenbecher. Guyana meets Islay. Abartig, aber irgendwie auch geil.

    Whiskey finishes hardly ever make real sense in rum in my eyes - unfortunately, I can't shake that feeling here either. While the smokiness can certainly be said to have a complementary effect, for me as a lover of the classic Guyana profile with heavy sweetness, dark fruits and dense aromatics, these flavors are simply not needed. In the end, however, everyone may decide for themselves, it does not really pick me up.

    19. 01.2019 A nice evening with colleagues from all over Denmark. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: fresh, wood, light caramel, roasted, earthy, dried fruit. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, licorice, light smoke, chocolate, dried fruit. Finish: medium to long, wood, smoke, chocolate, raisin.
