"Retasting and I stick to my older score. Very popular among the other tasters and the story of how it came to be was really cool. ----- Old tasting note below ----- I do like a navy rum and this is a nice blend actually. Stille doesn't beat my favourite Black Tot 50th and Master Blander edition. Medium heavy navy rum with oak and spices. Nice warm and spicy on the palate. There is a hint of smoke and solvents, but the overall balance is pretty good actually. Price to quality is very good."

"Hmm ... 🤔 Don't really warm up to this Navy. It doesn't seem balanced or, as they say on the coast, not like him and not like her. Also, even though it's nice and long, it's too bitter on the finish for me. There are clearly better Navys. But at least on the nose it can keep up, depending on the day, great sweetness."

"Intense nose with a beautiful mixture of nut, roastiness, glue and menthol. Surprisingly round and mild on the palate with a great sweetness. Balanced and delicious navy blend! I like it very much."

"A somewhat unbalanced Navy Rum. The nose is nevertheless attractive, with notes of menthol, tea and eucalyptus that combine with woody, spicy and fruity aromas to form a rather coherent whole. On the palate, the rum is much lighter and less aromatic. From the blend, Barbados and Guyana predominate. The profile is darker and greedier, but loses complexity and depth on the palate. The rum is oily and particularly approachable, with toasty, woody, spicy, caramelized, slightly fruity and cocoa flavors. The degree of navy proof is unsuspected. The moderately long finish is reminiscent of Guyana, with its bitterness, herbs, spices and earthiness. A rum that lacks homogeneity and character. It's a pity that the influence of Trinidad and Jamaica is only sketchy, as these terroirs could have changed the profile radically."
