good Versailles profile, but rather on the spicy side on the way with allspice, tobacco, oak. The (quite sparse) fruity notes go towards dried date and dried apple rings. Similar profile on the palate. In the finish toasty-dry

Really dark, spicy reduced Demerara essence! Extremely furry and astringent with many tannins and bitter substances, at the same time fresh after various essential oils as in the sauna or a massage. But for me personally definitely too bitter and intense after licorice but still extremely complex and full-bodied. Wicked stuff.

Strong Versailles. Complex finish with full herbal aroma. Beautiful bottling at a fair price.

A very good rum that, if the alcohol were better integrated, could play pretty far up!He is more on the spicy side; but that quite well once the alcohol is tamed!

Tastes like a beautiful old school Versailles. Unbelievable PLV.

In the nose at the beginning raisiny PX notes and iodine. After the first sip, I also get licorice in the nose.This is also found on the palate again, in a viscosity also reminiscent of PX sherry, or here perhaps rather licorice liqueur. Chocolate and bitter-rusty notes are still there, in the finish comes some coffee to it.For me as a Guyana newcomer definitely one of the best I've been allowed to taste so far. But I'm unsure if I like this spicy appearance or if I'm missing some fruit.

On the nose still relatively restrained, on the palate as strong as an ox. Convincing rum. Congratulations to all who call a bottle their own.

The nose is very smoked-toasted-roasted. There is caramelized Guyana molasses, coffee, roasted nuts, ... It is like a gingerbread refreshed by a lemon zest. It is complex and intriguing. In the mouth, it is very concentrated on licorice and prune. We have bitter coffee, empyreumatic notes ... and caramel to sweeten it all. The finish is very long on spices and burnt wood. The mouth does not leave indifferent. It is much more striking than the nose suggested. This very marked finish is very well balanced.

Quite tart profile. Crisp dry - not a flatterer, yet aromatically extremely exciting.

A very good rum. A lot of pleasure on this tasting. I compare it to the Diamond 14 from Rasta Morris which I find a little bit better. The nose is quite similar but the mouth really distinguishes them.

Another lovely expression from Tamosi..very sweet and fruity on the nose (with notes of dried figs, plums, apricots, raisins, balanced out by bitter notes of cocoa and licorice), more pungent and spicy in the mouth. Just lovely

Reminds me too much of soup maggi at first, but then comes very tasty notes of licorice, oak and banana. Overall, rather on the bitter side and in the taste a little tar.

For an hour in a glass, development - from 85 points to 87 points. The aromas of green tea, chamomile and mint of which are not white at the beginning, were very pleasing, all against the background of dark chocolate, nuts, leather and tobacco. (automatic translation)

Too spicy and poorly integrated alcohol level... A big taste of licorice... Not my thing, this one. The nose is very elegant though

Ugh, it tastes like soap! Or do I just not like licorice?

I misplaced a few tasting notes a while ago, amongst these was this adolescent Versailles. C: Aged in the tropics or caramel coloured (E150)? I’m not liking this already. N: A blend of Granny apple peel, medium strong coffee, burnt sugar and fumes of petrol. I also get brine, which is typical of Versailles, but here it´s muted. I also get a strong kind of fake sweetness taste that reminds me of bad column still distillation. This make me think that perhaps too much E150 was involved in this single cask. M: Spicy and bitter. Burnt sugar with a sour coffee taste. It differs from Continental aged Guyana pot still rums I’ve tasted lately and that I like so much. There is no freshness here. F: Not long and sour. B: No

A good Versailles, perhaps still a bit young. A few more years in the barrel would probably be good.
