    7.8/10 54 reviews

    Overall a very well balanced and full bodied rum from a great distillery. When I was in Antigua some years ago I was pleased with a guided tour at the distillery and their aging house guided by a fantastic guide who origins from Madeira and is related to the founders of the brand. She told me that Madeira Cask Finish is the one of the three cask finished they’re most pleased with in batch 001. I’ve tasted the batch 002 some years ago and rated it 8+. The nose is great with aromas of fruits, honey, vanilla, wood and Madeira. At the palate the aromas of fruits, vanilla and Madeira comes back but there also flavors of smoke, oak and chocolate.

    Bitter and winey notes. Not mine at all

    A medium golden hue in the glass. A very sweet smell, something of wine, spices. A very complex and pleasant aroma. The taste is quite bitter at first, then it slowly becomes sweeter in the mouth.The finish is long and relatively mild.

    Sehr guter Madeira-Einfluss. Schön rund!
