    "❗💥🇷🇪WOW! What a blast, long had nothing more under the nose what goes so in different directions.... The Jamaica Hampden barrel which was used for the "finish" makes itself very noticeable here in any case and brings a completely new dimension of complexity. One moment strawberry and pineapple, then again smoke and caramel, then again some candied apple and grape jelly, then freshly baked brioche with apricot jelly and after a long time to breathe join again notes of dried olives, tomatoes, peppers and chili and some thyme to it, underpinned by a menthol...In the taste then similar only not quite so vegetable, alcohol content extremely well integrated and dangerously drinkable... an absolute explosion in the mouth! The really fun!🤤"

    "Interessant, komplex und schwer zu fassen. Viele florale, kräutrige Noten. Trifft nicht hundert Prozent meinen Geschmack, aber trotzdem ein spannender Rum, der den Spagat zwischen fruchtigen Estern und floralen Noten schafft. Gegen Ende macht sich das Finish in Hampden-Fass schön bemerkbar und bringt einen Hauch des typischen Aromas in den Mund."
