    Easy St. Lucia-style daily sipper

    Drinkers seeking big complexity or heavy fruit/funk, and those very sensitive to a bit of alcohol bite at modest ABV.

    Compared to the Plantation Extreme with a bit more Alcohol this is mild and tempered, but very similar. Taste wise it's more muted, but I do not have to manage any alcohol burn. Also the cask, spice and roasted fruit is quite present and nice. A sipper for easy days.

    Ikke meget eftersmag. Ikke nok smag til at pakke alkoholen ind.

    Decent rum. This specific release from LMDR have minimum “dosage”. Less stupid sweetness - more flavour. Simple.

    This is a very lovely daily sipper. BTW thi is my first St. Lucia. It’s not my favorite but it’s OK. Nose: Coconut, dried prunes, dried apricot, peaches (first impression was Icetea(peaches)when i openend the sample) paired with roated almonds, dark chocolate and sweet toffee. Mouth: Very balanced dry and delicious. Here you’ll find the same tastes but a bit more sweeter. I found some notes of mocha and a clear toated barrel too. The alcohol is very present for 45% only. Finish: Medium long: dry and fruity. You’ll find the roasted almonds, dried prunes, dried apricot and caramel again. With a nice taste of the toasted barrel.
