    "Head-to-head with the Silver Seal and for me a nose ahead - although this can turn out the other way around at the next comparison. Here, too, smoke, honey, fresh fruitiness, plus green notes - the all-round pampering program for aficionados, which makes every tasting a star hour of rum. Always a pleasure!"

    "Benchmark Rockley! ❤️A liquid dream!Compared to the SS, Nobilis and Plantation, it has both the best nose and the best palate. Very nice roundness, alcohol top integrated, some smoke, but overall a honey monster!"

    "Incredibly intense on the nose and palate, plus creamy and oily. A real great drink flow that the rum Artesanal could create if you had more of it. A really beautiful rum that clearly showed us why there was so much hype around this bottling. The complexity in conjunction with the pronounced sweetness is also something very special in this W.I.R.D."

    "by far the most complex of the 8 1986 Rockleys I know. incredibly creamy, drinkable & harmonious. For me, on a par with the silver Seal, even if it is stylistically somewhat different. but this combination of mango, papaya, allspice, olives, vanilla and fresh acacia honey with creme brulee, sandalwood and tonka/vanilla is simply gigantic! Hammer! absolutely brilliant stuff, chapeau to RA, you delivered great cinema here back then!🙏🇧🇧💥💣"
