    "Full of awe this rum came into the glass today ...Outstanding complex nose ... you could lie down in it ... Dark fruits, molasses, leather, coffee and chocolate characterize the first impression... All incredibly balanced. Insanity on the palate.... Lots of molasses, coffee and plum ... Alcohol very well integrated... Strong roasted flavors with caramel and some hazelnut. The rum easily needs 45 minutes to slowly open up, after which it gets better and better and better... 💥"
