User reviews highlight its subtle citrus and vanilla notes, combined with a honey-like floral nuance. While some appreciate its mild and aromatic qualities, others find it overly diluted, impacting its overall flavor depth. Smoky and woody elements are also noted, but features like a short, unimpressive finish are common critiques.

    RumX-Adventskalender 14.12.2023 Nah, Rockley just wasn't and isn't my cup of tea. Drinkable, but really not a burner. Thin and meaningless.

    Goûté à l'aveugle et je n'ai pas été capable ne serait que de situer ce rhum. Une liqueur d'amandes pour moi. Très léger. Très facile à boire. Très surprenant aussi car très déroutant. Chouette découverte !

    Wenig prickelnd weil insgesamt einfach zu dünn. Wirkt extrem verwässert, vom Profil ist nicht mehr viel da. Wirkt wie der Caroni vom selben Abfüller. Nichts schlecht aber im Endeffekt relativ nichtssagend.
