"für mich nach wie vor der heilige Gral in Sachen Belize. 🇧🇿🙏 gegrillte Ananas zum trinken in Fassstärke, ein Gedicht :) 🍍🔥 butterzart und weich trotz 66% und ein endlos genialer Abgang, übrigens auch der Rum der mich endgültig zu Fassstärke und Co vor 6 Jahren bei Perola gebracht hat :D sehr sehr geiler Stoff, sehr geradlinig und sexy 🤤😍🇧🇿🍍👌🏽"

"Great !!! NY at its best, at least for me. Great fruit, lots of ester, marzipan and an incredible mouthfeel. Together with the SBS 2005 my personal reference when it comes to New Yarmouth (2005). Unfortunately really hard to get at a reasonable price."

Top review from Galli33:

"This one is awesome! Cool mix of all the lovely mhoba notes, fresh notes, hay, some esters. The alcohol is intergrated well and has a great impact on it. The finish is quite long and quite woody-astringend. Very harmonious for this young age."

"Absolute royalty from Barbados - the "Rockley" style reaches its highest form of art here. Smoke, honey, fresh fruit, plus green notes - all this with perfectly integrated alcohol and without ever developing any form of heaviness. In one form: Formidable."

"simply an absolute grenade. Mega deliciously intense after cocoa, espresso, blackberries, cassis, acacia honey and tree resin and a little grapefruit peel in the finish... For me, this is still one of the best Venezuelan rums on the market. Especially at this RRP, this was an absolutely fantastic rum."

"#bottlekill 🥲 extremely round rum for such a young age and the high alcohol strength. Grenade. still for me one of the best PLV cask strength rums on the market. ❤️🙏🇦🇬 compared to the new english harbour straight From the cask this one is ne track ahead as it has much more flavors to offer and I like it even better overall, more fruit, more power and more complexity.💥 My absolute #1 Antigua rum! Too bad I did not get here at the time for the ridiculous uvp of ~60€ directly ne box. Simply delicious!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"Retasting this one I admit that I would really have loved this rum to have a higher ABV because I think it would have greatly benefitted the rum. The nose is very fruity with burnt sugar and some grass to it (lile in a Jamaican rum). The palate is wonderful and has a bite on top of the fruity/spicy note. A lot of nice oak but not too much. The finish is long and slightly bitter with oak and ginger."

"extrem rund für 37y tropical aging... geile Nummer. absoluter Ausnahme Panama Rum! im blind tasting könnte man den schnell Mal mit Demerara verwechseln. Hintenraus bekommt er ne sehr abgefahrene, leicht bittere Note nach Maggikraut und Minze und altem Sherry."
