How does this rum taste?

An enchanting Rockley Still rum, boasting 26 years of aging, unites fruity sherry notes with a bold honey crunch. Complex and balanced, its robust body delivers toasty chocolate and a hint of tar, though a higher ABV might elevate it further.

“Blind tasting tonight. The nose is great. A big salad of exotic fruits in the foreground. A little almond powder behind, some dried fruit, a hint of rubber. A nose that makes you want to drink it, really! I really like it. On the palate, the woodiness is more noticeable, as are certain aromas such as candied prunes. A little less fruity. A wonderful discovery, I found it really very good, but I didn't guess at all, I thought it was a Jamaican-dominated navy blend.”

“Great nose, you can literally smell the age. But what is that on the palate? Thin rose water? No, I can't do anything with that for the life of me. I'm really sorry, but I also find this Rockley banal on the palate. If it weren't for the smell, which makes you want more, the rum would even get 5 points less from me.”

“This is a rum where the nose is significantly different from the palate. Not a bad rum. It has a bite and a short kind of sweet finish. I'd say the price tag is OK.”

“On the nose roast, milk chocolate and some tar. The palate is full-bodied and enveloping with notes of roast/smoke, toasted sugar, warm honey and some sweet fruit. Very distinctive and expressive with a smooth finish, in the empty glass roasted and sherry. It fluctuates between 90 and 91, but if it had a higher ABV it would have easily reached 94.”

“very good rum just too much masked by the extremely toasted finish. It loses the freshness of the distilled juice however developing an interesting complex taste”

“Sehr lecker, 86er WIRD Profil mit Sherry funktioniert super, 46% sind nicht zu wenig.”

“Part 2/8 of our 1986 Rockley tasting: distinctly more medicinal, less fruity, not as round as the Madeira finish, but more honey and honeycomb & much more intense and slightly more alcoholic. Sherry influence is there but not too much. The intense thyme-honey note on the finish is exciting!❤️🤤🍯”

“Well marked by the sherry, on fruity notes (red fruits) and a little leather/rancio. Too short finish, the reduction spoils it all.”

“Wonderfully round, spicy, fruity and a wee bit medicinical with some cough drops in the nose. In the mouth cough drops and cough syrup are really present, cherries, beet juice, mediterranean herbs and some sweetened coffee notes. You can smeel and taste the age, but the nose is clearly the best part here.”
