    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Rockley-style mix of honeycomb and smoky, roasted wood, lifted by herbal tea and dried fruit. The palate is mild, balanced and approachable, with wood, honey and subtle smoke carrying into a medium, woody-spicy finish. Some wish for more power at 47.1% and find it a touch thin, yet it remains an intriguing, limited 320-bottle release popular among 68 reviewers with strong buyer confidence.

    The Cave Guildive is more complex and powerful in comparison. The RA seems somewhat watered down by the 47.1%. The finish is extremely long and beautiful. Reminds me of a Fiji rum. The typical honey note is there, but not quite as present.

    The "dirty" style suits this distillate perfectly and I find the beeswax-like undertones very interesting. I am extremely enthusiastic about this Barbados WIRD, but cannot compare it with any other rockley styles.

    The affordable bottling of the Q4/2021 release. After starting the year with a cracker in the form of the Rockley, now the little brother. Very inviting nose, pleasantly light on the first breath, but a deeper complexity quickly becomes apparent. A beautiful potpourri of aromas. It shows a slightly different side on the palate: surprisingly woody and bitter for "only" 21 years (vs. 35 of the 86). Unfortunately very thin, so that it seems very flat compared to the nose. Longer finish than expected. Certainly the best PLV from the release, but not a highlight for me in terms of taste.

    This is a good WIRD but obviously less tasty than 1986 vintage.
