    "I have tried a few of these and the bar is pretty high. In general very few bottles leave the island and I usually get access through a friend going on holiday 😊 A nice medium dry and fruity rum with very good ABV integration. Good balance between the individual elements and a very long finish. Draws really nice curtains and the empty glass has the most wonderful flavours after a while."

    "Very vinous/sherry nose, grapes, dried fruit, toasty aromas. Nevertheless, the floral Agricole notes such as sugar cane, fresh and earthy do not come up short. In the mouth and finish actually very similar to the nose, but with less fruit and instead more Agricole influence. Sherry lingers here for a long time as well. Also spiciness in the form of ginger, but always accompanied by sweetness from Madeira wine barrels. Pretty round thing!"

    "very nice Madeira rum! for me so far the most complex and balanced I had.on the nose directly intense after Madeira wine, prune, acacia honey, as well as some mint and candied fruit and ginger.taste then directly the mint, then nutty Madeira and date notes and fruit bread. in the finish, the mint then intensifies and becomes menthol, plus candied spicy ginger, grapefruit peel and in addition beautifully fresh and pleasantly balanced. at the end remains a slight acidity reminiscent of currant and again some mint. very tasty and summer!🙏"
