2023 and I still love it though at the last bottle 😊 Another wonderful bottling from Valinch & Mallet. Happy that I got my hands on 2 bottles. Remember to rest for 15-20 minutes to release all those wonderful flavours. 2021.12.10 Sitting in my recliner right now enjoying this wonderful rum. No wonder people like it, real funk and fruits from Jamaica. I have the entire series and the general quality level is very high.
Delicious combination of fresh, fruity Jamaican aromas with vanilla-oakwood flavors reminiscent of Barbados and a present spicy note. Overall, a very appealing complexity. The VRW Marque demonstrates its diversity here and is convincing across the board. Very drinkable.
The fruit, the balance, the age, the esters, the complexity. Really, really good! At the beginning it has nutty, chocolaty notes, later these change into very nice fruity notes. Everything is very well integrated.
This is a Long Pond just the way I like it... complex with funk, fruit, spice, wood and toasty sweetness. That's exactly how it should be, it's a good thing I still have a bottle to call my own. V&M did a great job and got a perfect bottling
