"Overall I think that all of it are there, but everything’s to weak. The nose fruity and round with aromas of Raisins, vanilla, honey and tobacco. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s fruity, spicy and sweet with flavors of vanilla, honey, raisins, tobacco, oak and caramel."
"Good solid distillate. Very restrained on the nose. Shows little of what it can do. In the taste then sweetness, fruity but also dark roasted tones. However, nothing special either. You don't necessarily have to try it."
"#5215 12.04.2025 Running through some samples at home. Nose Medium intense, wood, light roasted, light chocolate, light clove, faint leather, raisins. Palate Medium intense, light spicy, warm, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light leather, light cinnamon, lightly dry. Finish Medium long, medium dry, wood, raisin, spice, light tobacco, cinnamon, faint smoke, light leather. Empty glass Light leather, dried fruit, light honey, faint smoke, light chocolate. Needs to rest for a while to settle properly."
"Nice bottle with a rum that doesn't need to hide, yes of course there is better from St. Lucia but as a light sipper for in between just right and not so sweet. The bottle also looks great on the on the shelf ;)"
