    "14.12.2023 Retasting this one and it's still an amazing release. Despite the bottle being almost empty it has retained its beautiful flavour and balance. Would love one on my shelf but it's a bit expensive ☺️ ------------- This is a great rum with a long time in the barrel. Despite the age the wood is not super dominating and that makes this a very well balanced rum. The nose it lightly fruity and brown sugar with clear caramel right off the bat. After resting you get toasted wood and light coffee notes. The palate is very well balanced, oily and continues where the nose left off. Fruity with caramel in the front followed by nuts, chocolate, wonderful brown sugar and toasted wood. The finish is medium to long with spices, wood, cocoa and raisin. There is a light salty touch in the finish."
