    Despite the price tag I gad to try this release and it didn't disappoint me. The price tag may be high, but is is also an old rum. Nice and fruity on the nose with some leather notes. Once rested even more notes appear. The palate is warm, dry and well balanced. Despite the age the wood isn't dominant but mixes very well with the fruits and floral notes. The finish warm and medium to long and dry with dried fruit and wood.

    So a big thank you to the RumNation stand. I was able to taste this superb rum. Typical dark old Versailles profile. Superb. I've been told that there's a speyside whisky finish (like the one on the 2005 diamond), it's superbly integrated with the rest, and doesn't bother me at all (although, to be honest, I don't see the point of it either...).
