Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Dove back into a retaste of this one and it's still a very good release. Despite the steep price of 1300, - euro I decided to buy this bottle and opened it for a taste after it arrived yesterday. Wow, this is a great rum, though expensive I must say it's almost a perfect rum."

Top review from Jakob:
"Simply great aromatics: the long aging adds a lot of complexity without becoming too bitter or otherwise overpowering the flavor profile. Fruit esters and wood embedded in a lovely sweetness...theoretically conceivable that you might not like this - but would make no sense. For me, this is great cinema.In direct comparison with the Tara and the Rum Club again a little more unfiltered fruit and menthol. The bottling remains an absolute top representative from Clarendon."

"Retasting and I still like it a lot. ------- This is also e very expensive bottle and I'd say the price can be argued, but you can't argue the quality of the rum. The nose just hits you right in the face. Fruit and smoky oak hits you first and then comes the molasses and caramel with a whif of leather. The palate is complex yet wonderfully balanced. Roasted wood and oak hit the palate right away closely followed molasses, vanilla and light chocolate. There is an ever so light bitterness to the palate. The finish is long and surprisingly smooth with oak, vanilla and dried fruit."

"A tick better than the KFM of the Flensburg Rum Company (RX7441), aged 2 years shorter. A little fruitier, a little oilier, a little stronger (but also higher ABV). There aren't many '91 KFMs, but they're just almost universally high quality, though by no means inexpensive. Thanks to Dom for the sample."

"Visit to Ricci. Like last time, just great: 14 rums tasted, 2 hours with us, all quality rums, some of them very high-flying, like this 19-year-old bielle... Inevitably woody, but neither aggressive nor overpowering. There's something really elegant here, with nuts, dried fruit, tobacco and leather."

"Does not fall in the blind direct comparison with the Velier Albions. Classic Albion notes of sweet vanilla, oak and caramel, but with a somewhat too noticeable bitter note on the palate, without which it would go even higher. Serious alternative in the (still) tolerable price range."

"A fine representative of New Yarmouth 94, with very well-integrated alcohol and complex aromas. We want more! The nose is fruity, with an elegant woodiness slightly covered by acetone. It's very gourmand, with hints of almond cake. The alcohol is perfectly integrated on the palate, with brown sugar and tropical fruit. The finish is long, still with almond cake and light oak. The empty glass is splendid, with complex, homogeneous aromas. The best of this rum."

"This was my contribution to the tasting and once we cracked open the bottle the flavours started spreading. Fruity with roasted wood and very good ABV integration. I really like the floral note and warm/spicy touch to the palate. Price to quality is very good in my mind."

"This is a pretty good rum but I'd say the price is a bit high. You can get the same quality from New Yarmouth cheaper out there. Leave it to rest for a while for the flavours to really develop. The nose is fruity with spices, nuts and wood as well as a hint of varnish. The palate is complex, well balanced and oily with fruits, wood, nuts, caramel and vanilla. The finish is medium to long with fruits, wood and caramel."

Top review from LukaŽiga:
"7,8:On the nose we find strawberry, banana, orange, syrupy liquorice, with abundant but balanced spices. We don't necessarily find the brand's typical "Christmas spices", but a more woody, nutty notes. Aeration brings out pastry notes with cookies, sweetness is here. Everything is here, from butter to sweet spices, cereals and nuts. 7,5:The palate matches the nose, sweetness exhibits, with a buttery cookie topped with almonds. Coated with a nice vanilla liqueur, the rum is round, sticky and syrupy. In the background, there's a slight concentration of exotic fruit that carries the whole through to the mid-palate. 7,5:The finish is round, sweet, with a cookie baked with sweet spices and caramelized butter..."

"A great start to the tasting evening! Of course, this is unmistakably a Dominican, but an unusually strong one, without the alcohol being noticeable at all. A few drops of water make it even more accessible, with apricot and barrel notes in balance. Not my preferred style, but certainly drinkable and therefore recommended for special occasions - if you don't have to watch the pennies ... (bottle price now exorbitantly high)"

"Surprisingly fruity, fresh enmore! Very unusual, almost Spanish in style! Raspberry, mint, orange peel, glue and plum on the nose, less wood than expected. then fig, light coconut, raisin and wood and grapefruit on the palate. in the finish the raspberry comes back with mint, grapefruit peel, bitter orange, tannins and black tea notes. plus slightly charred barrel notes and really balanced! one of the best enmores so far! You could almost blind pack it with foursquare or Antigua... Really cool stuff... I think it's fantastic. Absolutely underrated!"

"A real "board" - aromatically very dense with lots of fresh fruit from a melange of tropical and citrus fruits that can hardly be decomposed in the last detail paired with bacony roasted aromas, spices, wood influences and some caramel sweetness. Extremely intense, but in this force also absolutely impressive."

"This is a wonderful rum and the price to quality is very good. I'd say this one is better that its predecessor. More elegant in a way. The nose is intense and fruity with leather, chocolate, wood trailed by light vanilla and nuts. The notes become much clearer once rested for more than 15 minutes. The palate is intense and well balanced with fruit, leather, chocolate as well as light wood and vanilla. The finish is medium to long with dried fruit, coffee and light wood and tobacco. I will have to order a bottle of this rum :-)"

Top review from Godspeed:
"MaJ: Rating adjusted downwards. It's very good but less expressive in a dry ti-punch compared to DePaz 55% (the new reference in white agricole). Original verdict: Clearly above the Dillon 2019 monovarietal. There's a little cellar note that smells musty but, big surprise, it's very pleasant and adds more complexity to the work. If you're thinking in a "should I buy this bottle" sort of way, do you also know that I'm a big incorruptible fan of white rums made with red cane and only red cane. For those who share my taste, highly recommended. Truly high quality. The thick red wax seal around the mouth adds a touch of class to the experience too."

"A New Yarmouth with a beautiful label. The nose is somewhere between Demerara, with salted butter caramel and spices, and Jamaican rum, with tropical fruit and a light varnish. The palate is surprisingly smooth, but immediately complex and full-bodied, with toasted almonds and very little ester. The finish is infinite and magnificent, with spices, varnished wood and tropical fruit. A great NY experience. The empty glass is very fruity, very Jamaican."

"I would have loved if this rum had a higher ABV because it's very light in the profile. This also makes it sweeter that it should have been in my mind. Fruity with nice roasted wood. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some tobacco and citrus."

Plantation Single Cask Trinidad 21 ans 2001 Antipodes...
Top review from DomM:
"Very nicely balanced on the nose. This one is less minty but more fruits forward with some herbs and notes from the oak casks. Well balanced in the palate as well. Fruit forwards with mint and wood. Less dirty than some of the other bottlings. Slightly behind the top notch 2001 bottlings for me due to a little rougher edges on the palate. Still very nice overall."

"First impression trough the nose: light ester, fruity, glue; just like a good old LP. But once you take of the cap of the glass this smells disappear quickly, only the smells of the barrel remain. Same thing on the palate… It’s a bit fruity (coconut) similar to a foursquare. After the fruity notes the barrel/roasted notes take the overhand. The finish is woody with a hint of fresg coconut graters. Second impression: Much Much better, found some licorice, minty and coconut notes. Very lovely. The finish remains woody. +2 in rating Although it’s not bad, it’s still a good balanced, complex rum. The alcohol is integrated well too."

"02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 5 Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Wood, roasted, faint chocolate, light caramel, plum, light cherry, faint medicinal. Palate Oily, wood, roasted, light tannins, plum, light cherry, light chocolate, spice, faint caramel. Finish Medium long, wood, faint smoke, light coffee, prunes, light cherry."

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A very pretty Bielle from 2009, which gives a lovely impression on the nose. There's a lovely fruity component with exotic fruit, citrus, peach and apricot. Floral notes are ravishingly fresh, with violet, chamomile and aromatic herbs tending towards black tea. Spicy, woody notes are also present. A fragrant, round and very pleasant profile. The attack on the palate is multi-faceted: sometimes fruity, sometimes spicy, sometimes floral, the aromatic palette is broad and well spread out over the length. The alcohol is well integrated, but the 49.4% still has a modicum of vivacity. However, the finish falls short of expectations, thin, volatile and sparse, without being overly expressive. Slightly bitter on grass, espresso and cocoa. There's succinct oak and light spice on the finish. The menthol and tea notes on the finish are fresh and pleasant. If the finish seems disappointing, the flavors on the nose and palate are more striking, and there's more impact, vivacity and complexity in this profile than in the rounder, greedier Bielle 2011."

Black Tot Rum Demerara Aged 40 Years
Top review from Christoph:
"Ingenious Navy Rum you notice the long maturation. In the tasting comparison, most found the Last Consignment better, I personally liked the 40Y due to the even stronger maturation that you notice clearly in comparison better. Less fruity, but woodier, mustier than the Last Consignment. Arr!"

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Diese orangefarbenen Abfüllungen von Grays führen ja meist (for some unknown reason) ein Schattendasein hinter den exquisiten weiß-grauen Single-Cask-Abfüllungen aus derselben Destillerie. So auch diese. Daher ist es nicht ganz so verwunderlich, dass sie auf dem Erstmarkt noch verfügbar ist und auch noch von niemandem beachtet und mit einer Bewertung bedacht wurde. Also mache ich mal den Anfang - und der kommt gleich mit einem BÄMM! Auch wenn mich mittlerweile das Gefühl beschleicht, mit meinen zuletzt fast durchweg sehr hohen Bewertungen so langsam unglaubwürdig zu werden, so muss ich diesen Rum doch unbedingt dort oben einreihen. Und zwar ganz oben. Vielleicht ist er sogar meine neue Benchmark für New-Grove-Single-Casks. Das wird sich zeigen, wenn ich ihn gegen meinen bisherigen Favoriten (RX2744, natürlich auch aus dem überragenden Destillationsjahr 2009) verkostet habe. Diesmal habe ich ihn für eine erste Einordnung gegen die gerade gesplittete Spezialabfüllung für 20 Vin (RX13081) antreten lassen. Die ist zwar insgesamt fruchtiger, kann mit ihren nur 50% aber nichts gegen die 58,5% der Spezialabfüllung für Fine Spirits ausrichten. Die (optisch hellere) Fine-Spirits-Abfüllung ist einfach eine Wucht, das macht sie schon an der Nase klar, aber richtig fett spielt sie am Gaumen auf. Wer auf schwere, dunkle Tee- und Mentholtöne und nicht so sehr auf die sonst so typischen lieblich-hellen (gelben oder roten) Früchte steht, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Ein herausfordernder Rum der Oberklasse. Wird von mir gesplittet, sobald der Nachschub eingetroffen ist. Update 2024-08-11: So, also den RX2744 stößt er dann doch nicht vom Thron. Im Direktvergleich ist der RX2744 öliger und nicht ganz so teebitter wie der RX2949, der dafür mehr Menthol zu bieten hat und eine bessere Alkoholintegration. Daher einen Punkt Abzug für den RX2949 gegenüber der gestrigen Bewertung und somit Gleichstand mit dem RX2744. Zwei fantastische Rums und für mich die Aushängeschilder von Grays."

"This is definitely an Agricole :-) From opening the bottle, to pouring and nosing this rum you get the grassy Agricole notes. Once rested you get spices, wood, citrus and some honey. The palate is also grassy with wood, fruit and spices trailed by some chocolate. The finish is medium long and woody with spices and fruits. Price to quality is not that good."

"This rum is priced at 500+ Euro, but is it worth the money? In my opinion, most definitely. The nose comes at you once you pour it, candied fruits, vanilla and a bit of earthiness. The barrel has also left notes of bourbon and overall a very well balanced nose. The palate is complex and like velvet, yum. Fruits, caramel and chocolate with wood and vanilla trailing. In the end a hint of mocha and tobacco. The finish is long and velvety with wood, fruits, vanilla and a hint of tobacco. A very good rum worth the price tag."

"Tasted against the RC REV 2006 (RX16863). And hard to detect any difference at all. Perhaps the RdL is a bit smoother and a bit shorter and somehow slightly musty in the finish, where the RC struts away there full of power broad-legged. But this is only a nuance and possibly due to the form of the day. Both rums are extraordinarily successful representatives of their kind. 😍 😍"

Yellow fruits. Everything here is delicate. Don't drink heavy or woody rums before this. It'll kill the palate."

"Ever since @crazyforgoodbooze got me hooked on Mauritius at the 11th GRF, I've been trying to get to know the country's rums better. With this one, I like the expressive blackcurrant note on the palate. A really pleasant rum, but with an unremarkable nose and a short finish that can't match the Grays from Perola (RX12865) from the same year. Update 2023-07-02: I must have had a bad day at the first tasting, only 82 points just doesn't do the rum justice. Now, at the second tasting, it has a super-long, fruity and woody finish. The impressive red rum now gets a well-deserved 86 points. Pretty good PLV for a single cask and still available, wonderful. Update 2024-03-16: Used as a benchmark rum against two other New Grove single casks and more than lives up to its role. In the meantime I have to say, even better than the 2009 bottling. Amazing Mauritius!"

"After the Renaissance from the White Alligator barrel was already a real positive surprise, today again followed up with two interesting bottlings, one stored in the Bas-Armagnac barrel, the other in the noble red (Botrytis grapes sweet wine) barrel, again with super long fermentation, so that it comes on the nose again to a real aroma fireworks. Interestingly, however, both are quite different from the aroma profile. In the Armagnac Cask I have more grapes, the noble red goes more in the direction of yogurt and it also somehow still has something between storage room and cheese plate, which I like but quite 😅 On the palate both with tobacco, vanilla. Here, too, the noble red scores a little more. Conclusion: again two extreme bottlings that are really fun. Makes you want to try more!"

"A nose of overripe banana, pear, mirabelle plum and light wood. The palate has a soft attack, then is immediately full-bodied. The freshness is astonishing, with noble vanilla rounding out the picture. The finish is quite long, with acidic fruit and light oak. The empty glass is a fine summary of this interesting, well-balanced rum."

"Appealing melange of dried apricot, toffee, the slightly metallic minerality of the typical pencil shavings notes, as well as spice of licorice, pepper, anise, wood...aromatically complex, a good portion of smoke at the back.

"Über die Nähe zwischen TDL und Caroni wurde ja durch Steffens Buch schon detailliert berichtet. Aromatisch finde ich auch hier HTR-typische Noten vor und halte deshalb einen Blend aus TDL und Caroni für wahrscheinlich. Gefällt mir sehr gut, angesichts der Rahmendaten (Alterung, Geschmacksprofil) durchaus ein PLV-Tipp für mich - heute kosten weitaus weniger ausgewogene offizielle Caroni-Releases schon deutlich mehr. Im Direktvergleich zu anderen Caronis der gehobenen Kategorie natürlich etwas im Hintertreffen, aber für die zweite Reihe ein sehr ansprechendes Release."

"Very unusual profile for a Foursquare. Surprisingly many fresh fruit aromas, plus planty-floral notes. The palate also has a pleasant sweetness alongside finely balanced spices. Great complexity, the presumed reduction in alcohol content also plays into the rum's hands. I like it very much."
