"Great rum! Marked sherry and grape aromas with woody notes. I initially underestimated it then began to appreciate it. In my opinion the former sherry cask affected the rum too much, a bit like what happens with former whiskey casks."

"This rum needs to rest for a while because it is rather pungent once in the glass. One of a kind in my mind in the flavour profile and a very, very long finish. The flavours just stick to your palate for a very long time."
