„This is a blend of rums of up to 30 years of age and a very good one I may add. The winner of the 2011 Best Rum at the Golden Rum Barrel Awards. I just enjoyed this one again and it's never a disappointment. Very full bodied rum with a beautiful nose and complex palate. The finish is long, warm, spicy with smoke and just keeps on giving.“

„Got this sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. It’s produced from molasses in a multi column still whereafter it’s aged in Jack Daniel’s barrels using the Solera method. The oldest drops is said to be 30yo. Overall it’s very smooth but a little too sweet for me (hydrometer tests I’ve read indicates 27gpl of sugar), I should probably liked it even more with a little higher ABV which should balance the sweetness.“

„Quite a good sweet rum… Easy to drink, to read. I’m very disappointed by the mouthfeel (light, small body, but delicious) and taste… I expected much more from this one! *Update: New rating! Definitely the best of my 3 samples (12, 15 years and centuria)“

„Nez : première touche "solvant" très fugace, puis vanille et boisé, puis pâtissier +++ et fini sur note épicée mais douce limite anisée Bouche : très doux, caramel, vanille, bois, gourmand, sucré, fruits secs et enrobage fumé Finale : boisé en fond, vanillé et surtout sucré (trop) limite sirupeux, Longueur moyenne mais trop sucrée Au total très bon ron, agréable, très pâtissier et gourmand au nez, le mauvais côté vient de la sensation trop sucrée en bouche et surtout en finale“

„Selten übertrifft der Geschmack den Geruch bei weitem. Bei diesem Rum empfinde ich aber genau dies. Der Geschmack ist deutlich kräftiger und andauernder als der Geruch vermuten lässt. Sehr würzig auf eine angenehme Weise.“
