VS Distillers J. Gow Revenge
Most enjoy its surprising funk, bourbon-oak touch and good value; critics find it too chemical, young and rubbery. Consensus: interesting, slightly polarizing Scottish rum that leans toward Jamaican-style funk.
Curious explorers who like light Jamaican-style funk and bourbon-cask influence, want natural (no-sugar) rum around 40–45%, and don’t mind some rough edges for extra character.

Beautiful rum. Has something of a dry panama. The alcohol is cleanly integrated
Vůně lehčí, melasa, trochu ananas, přezrálé ovoce, estery, koření. Chuť melasa, karamel, ester, tropické ovoce, zázvor. Závěr kořeněný, melasa, citrusy, ananas. Celkově to připomíná Jamajku. Zajímalo by mě, kdyby tento rum měl kolem 55%.
Nosing Honeycomb, mango acetone ,papaya Tasting Old oak , sweet fudge , citrus fruits This is a beautiful pot stilled naturally sweet rum .. had it in a crystal glass just in ice and let it breathe for 15 minutes ... It's a very complex 3 year old rum and certainly in a couple of years time would be interested in the older stuff they age ...
Not sure why this is rated so low, it’s a great value rum that is very solid for the age
