    "Apart from the price, I find this bottling quite successful. A pleasant and balanced blend of fruit. There is spice and woodiness with a little funkiness. The alcohol is well integrated and carries the aromas quite well. The finish could last a little longer"

    "#4720 09.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few of my Endemic Birds Samples. Nose Fresh, light wood, fruity, pineapple, ester, light citrus, light vegetal. Palate Oily, fresh, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, berries, banana, ester, faint chocolate. Finish Medium to long, light spicy, wood, light roasted, fruits, berries, light chocolate. The empty glass has stronger chocolate notes as well a a glue note and some licorice."

    "Certainly overpriced with the bird on the label, but I still find this LFCH delicious. Very dense and sweet dark nose with lots of fruit such as oranges, cherries and green bananas. The palate is more almond with vanilla and wood with banana and glue."

    "The nose is what I like best about this rum. First sweet chocolate and coconut, then more cask and dried fruit, stewed fruit and dunder. Pomaceous fruit, caramel flan and red fruits on the palate. Relatively dry and woody finish. Doesn't really get me, unfortunately. Too woody and little Hampden. Has something of a Central American rum for me."
