World‑class, intense old Albion Demerara

Beginners, those sensitive to strong alcohol, or value-focused drinkers who prefer easygoing 40% rums and aren’t interested in paying big money for rare old Demeraras.

I threw 1500 euro after this bottle last week and I don't regret it a single moment. Wow, what a rum!
A bit rougher, but more complex than the Albion 2004.
Albion meets Grande Arôme - the classic profile of vanilla, oak and toffee is complemented by a subtle note of fermented fruit and mint, which I associate directly with Savanna Grand Arômes. Unique combination at the highest level.
Incredible experience. Nose 95 points, taste points. Very exciting combination of caramelized fruits, spices, dark chocolate and smoke. In direct comparison to the Albion from El dorado, which is of course a little younger, I didn't think it was worth 30 times as much...
