    Completely different from the “12” & “15”, it’s much drier but still a little too sweet. The new 2020 release is even drier and therefore even better, but this old one is still a very good buy in its price range.

    The best of the 12 year old and 15 year old in one bottle 😊

    A woody, vanilla nose, dried fruit and brown sugar, with a little too much alcohol. The first palate is a little acqueous, then the spices and dried fruit become more powerful. The finish is very short, with a slightly bitter woodiness. Quite a nice nose, but a disappointing palate and a finish that's far too short.

    Day trip Baltrum September 2024. Sturm-Eck pub. A rather sweet rum, vanilla, wood and caramel on the nose. Then chocolate, wood and spices on the palate. All in all a little sweet, but still really okay.
