"Still quite young and wild. However, with some time in the glass, an exciting VSG emerges. Plummy, dark, licorice and some citrus. On the palate, however, it is still a touch too wild for a top rating."
"Must the rum today, two years after the first tasting, but unfortunately downgrade from 85 to 81 points: The alcohol sharpness just does not want to give way properly. On the other hand, beautiful dark bitter notes, leather, herbs. A difficult rum."
"Manque de fraîcheur surtout en bouche. Amertume un peu trop prononcée. Alcool bien intégré. Après avoir terminé la bouteille, je confirme un ressenti mitigé. Ce rhum est bon mais la forte amertume qui devient plus prononcé avec l'aération, le rend trop sombre..."
"Unfortunately, I'm not completely convinced because there's a little too much alcohol on the palate. Solid Demerara, but the alcohol note does not allow a higher rating in my opinion."
