    "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."

    "Die günstige Abfüllung des Q4/2021 Releases. Nachdem das Jahr mit einem Kracher in Form des Rockleys startete, nun der kleine Bruder. Sehr einladende Nase, wirkt angenehm leicht auf den ersten Atemzug, allerdings wird schnell doch eine tiefere Komplexität deutlich. Schönes Potpourri an Aromen. Am Gaumen zeigt er eine etwas andere Seite: überraschend holzig-bitter für „nur“ 21 Jahre (vs. 35 des 86er). Leider doch sehr dünn, so dass er im Vergleich zur Nase sehr flach wirkt. Abgang länger als erwartet. Sicherlich das beste PLV aus dem Release, aber geschmacklich kein Highlight für mich."

    "Die "dreckige" Machart steht diesem Destillat hervorragend und die bienenwachsartigen Unternoten finde ich sehr interessant. Ich bin überaus begeistert von diesem Barbados WIRD, kann aber keine anderen rockley styles zum Vergleich heranziehen."

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