Eine High-Ester-Fruchtbombe! Gegrillte Ananas und Lösungsmittel dann kommt lange nichts, gefolgt von einer leichten malzigen Würze. Im Mund bleibt der Rum super fruchtig mit Gummibären und einer Säure die leicht auf der Zunge bitzelt. Der Alkohol ist fantastisch eingebunden. Der Rum bleibt immer harmonisch. Im Abgang weiter Ananas jetzt allerdings etwas unreifer und bitterer. Für eine absolute Spitzennote fehlt etwas Komplexität jenseits der Ananas und ein intensiverer Abgang. Für mich irgendwo zwischen dem RA JNY 2009 und dem Kill Devil Hampden 2007. Zu einem fantastischen Preis!
Another great ester bomb from Jamaica. Very delicious rum. The bouquet in the nose is amazing! The alcohol could be integrated better. Normally i would give a 84 rating, but the original price per value was excellent, so +2!

Esterbombe. Gegrillte Ananas. Leichte Anisnoten im Abgang. Bleibt auch nach langer Zeit im Glas wild. Im Mai Tai richtig geil. Und PLV mit 50 Euro für 0,7 top.
Wieder mal ein Hammer Preis-Leistungsverhältnis von IdR! Sehr gelungener, junger , aber trotzdem runder high-Ester Long Pond!
