"After a long wait and many bids, I finally won an auction and received this one yesterday. Considering the price some may think I'm mad, but I just love rum. This particular one is one year older than me (destillation year) and has matured for 36 years! The nose is amazing and heaven 17 with fruits and spices topped with smoke and molasses. In the back i can find leather, wow, so nice. The palate is complex and very well balanced candied fruits, spices and toffee followed by tea and nuts topped of by oak. The finish is forever nutty with toffee and coffee and again oak. Money well spent :-) "

"Last Sundays tasting was a great one and one of the best ones this year. This rum was the last one we tasted and it deserves first shot at rating. So great a rum that I decided to get a bottle! Lightly dry in a good way and a perfectly balanced and complex rum. I'd say this is a super refined XO! "

"Luckily this was the last rum of the evening or all the other samples would have failed horribly in comparison. A great rum and again one that was hidden in the back of a top shelf at a tiki bar., where they had a rum aficionado. The nose is complex and well balanced with fruits, smoked Wood, vanilla and chocolate. The chocolate and vanilla really come out if you leave the empty glass for a while. The palate takes off where the nose finishes. Complex and well balanced with fruit, smoky wood, vanilla and a hint of coffee/mocha. The finish is incredibly long with wood, cherries, chocolate and vanilla. I know this is a rare bottle, but my oh my, what a great rum."

"When it comes to REV this is one of the best ones I have tried. It gets to you as soon as you pop the bottle. I left it to rest for 15 minutes after which the flavours eminating from the glass were very intense. Very fruity with roasted wood and some leather and caramel. I also find a light earthy note in the back. The palate is complex and very fruity with roasted wood. Secondly I get vanilla, chocolate and a hint of tobacco. A full bodied rum, wow. The finish is long with roasted wood/smoky wood, chocolate and raisin. Great rum that deserves credit."

The sherry cask is in there too with somme mint.The palate lives up to the nose again setting off with varnish and spices. Then it goes into chocolate, nuts and minty molasses.

The entrance in mouth is suave then we discover a heavy rum on dark chocolate, dried apricots, tropical fruits and a rather present woody. The finish is very long, dry and spicy. A serious Foursquare with a really engaging nose and a very nice finish. The whole thing is a little too oaky to be perfect for my taste."

Et meilleur à chaque nouvelle dégustation. La bouteille gagne à vieillir.

"Wow, this was a major step forward and I'm happy i didn't start with this one because then the previous one would have had a worse score. I knew this one would be good, but it was super good. A very limited release well worth the price tag on release. This one needs to rest for a good while before you give it a go and I also recommend a few drops of water after the first nosing and palate because it releases a lot of flavours. The nose has smoky wood, rubber and tar followed by fruit, vanilla, tobacco and a bit of chocolate. The palate is balance, complex and sweet with smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit trailed by vanilla and caramel. The finish is long, very long and has smoky wood, tar, rubber and vanilla. Try to leave the empty glass for later because it only gets better on the nose."

"Un Caroni plus subtil avec le vieillissement entre Trinidad et Guyana. Cette influence se retrouve au nez, avec d’un côté les notes de goudron et de caoutchouc, de boisé et de cuir, puis les notes sombres et plus fruitées de l’autre. L’ensemble est homogène et équilibré. Le palais oscille entre la puissance de Caroni (hydrocarbures, caoutchouc, notes fumées) et la douceur de Guyana (chocolat, café, fruits tropicaux), offrant un profil complexe et délicat, étonnamment gourmand et sucré après aération. La finale est plus subtile et mince qu’à l’accoutumé chez Caroni, le profil sombre des rhums de Guyana prenant le dessus ici. Un Caroni plutôt atypique de par son vieillissement, mais un hybride tout en finesse qui se veut complexe et gourmand."

I'm not a certain but I made a note that I thought there was a hint of raisin in there. The nose is heavy on roasted wood with tar, molasses and some nuts. The palate is heavy, very complex and extremely well balanced with lots of roasted, even burnt wood actually, tar, molasses and a hint of mint. The finish goes on forever and has lots of roasted/burnt wood and tar. The note I have is that the colour was beautifully dark, bomb of a nose and heavy curtains in the glass."

"Zweite Verkostung: die Nase ist der Hammer, sehr ähnlich dem '95er! Am Gaumen dann ein Traum, unglaublich cremig und der Alkohol ausgezeichnet eingebunden, da ist der '95er viel schärfer (+1). In der Nase zuerst Harz und Hustensaft, sehr komplex! Gaumen: überraschend mild, exzellent eingebundener Alkohol, kräftig würzig und wieder sehr komplex. Die medizinischen Noten stehen im Vordergrund. Nachklang: der Rum verblasst sehr langsam. Die medizinischen und grasigen Noten herrschen vor. Der medizinische Charakter dominiert den Rum und macht ihn zu etwas besonderem, top!"

"Completely different league than all other Montebellos known to me - it should of course also be noted that it is in the comparison field in terms of distillation vintages a difference of more than three decades. What is offered here, however, is simply sensational: In the nose already of breathtaking depth with heavy fruits, fresh cola aroma and floral notes, the bouquet thickens on the palate to an oily texture with chocolaty sweetness, heavy fruitiness, excellent spice and perfectly balanced wood influence. Whatever Carrere (or whoever - the exact origin is still rumored) did differently than today: Play it again, Sam!"

"If you like Bellevue then this is one of the really good ones. Price to quality was great at release. The nose is intense and fruity with wood, cinnamon, honey and herbal notes after resting for more than 15 minutes. The palate is both intense, complex and well balanced with fruit, honey and leather with light candied, chocolate and herbal notes. The finish is extremely long with dried fruit, wood, leather, honey and herbal notes. Leave the empty glass for a few hours and whiff it again to get the full experience."

"Clearly milder and more drinkable than the 11y old without finish. The additional 20 months in the Armagnac finish have softened the rum perfectly and taken him some of the edges. The 11y is clearly more funky and intense, this one is clearly more harmonious but still with enough power. Exciting are the light peachy / apricot notes with eucalyptus and dark chocolate with cappuccino, cinnamon, nutmeg and nuts, as well as some lemon zest and at the very end comes back to me the characteristic menthol / grapefruit peel note. I also like very well, almost a little better depending on the mood!😁🥳Anyway, both bottlings are imho absolute Mauritius Gray's benchmarks!👌🏽"

"This is a nice rum even considering the price tag. The moscatel cask is there, but in a very discreet kind of way. The nose is spicy and fruity with floral notes and light wood and herbal notes. The palate is also spicy and fruity with light floral, wood and vanilla. The finish is long and balanced between wood, plum and vanilla. I love that they kept it at a good ABV instead of watering it down."

"Ein weiterer Rum aus meiner neuen Lieblingsdestillerie Grays. Und auch dieser Rum enttäuscht keineswegs, das Gegenteil ist der Fall: er begeistert (mich)! Guckt euch mal allein die Farbe des Rums in der Flasche an! 😍 Herrlich dunkel, kaum zu glauben bei einem Rum aus dem Jahre 2009. (Wurde da doch nachgeholfen?) Wie auch immer, ein sehr, sehr angenehm-ausgewogener Rum, tief, würzig, fruchtig, die für mich identitätsstiftende Johannisbeernote darf nicht fehlen. Runde Sache, Alkohol gut eingebunden, annehmbares PLV - Empfehlung vor allem für alle, die gern auch gern mal abseits ausgetretener Pfade spazieren."

"So New Grove aka Grays has been on my radar for a while now. I love that they have an original/typical style somewhere between Agricole rhum and Molasses rum in. It's fresh with herbal notes, eucalyptus and mint. Pinewood (please add that to the "standards"!). This is truly a great cask pick. 51% but soft yet complex and balanced. It hits all the classic Grays notes and melts them together perfectly. Long sticky finish. 76eu for a bottle. Easy buy. Love it! Edit: leaving it longer in the glass and the fruitiness pops out. Lots of (black)berries. Not unlike T.D.L. trinidad rum."

"Es war schwer, auf der HanseSpirit am Mauritius-Chamarel&Co-Stand einen Rum mit mehr als 45% ABV zu finden. Dann stand da dieser hier und er hatte mich sofort! Was für ein Aroma. Sample abgefüllt und jetzt in Ruhe zu Hause probieren. Nase: phantastisch intensiv würzig-holzig-fruchtig, komplex und rund. Eine konzentrierte Aromenfülle. Zunächst sind Vanille, duftendes Kirschholz und Pfeifentabak vorne, begleitet von geschwefelter Rosine, Dörrpflaume sowie Kirsche und schwarzer Johannisbeere. Wirkt daneben auch angenehm röstig, getoastet und lacht rauchig. Eine feine und herbe Süße von Ahornsirup sowie leicht saure und lakritzige Melasse sind im Hintergrund zu vernehmen. Würde sagen, die 8 Jahre tropische Reifung in einem Portweinfass haben dem Rum richtig gut getan. 90 Gaumen: konzentriert und elegant, würzig-holzig-fruchtig. Hier kommt das Portweinfass klar durch. Eine angenehme Mischung aus Sauerkirsche, geschwefelter Rosine und süß-säuerlicher Kiwi. Ganz vorne kommt aber zunächst eine Welle Kardamom, leicht salzig-pfeffrig, dann Safran mit einem Hauch Minze. Hinten dann der Port mir den Früchten. Im Abgang Heu. Sehr nett. 84 Ein sehr schöner Rum, bei dem das Finish (obwohl das hier ja eher die Hauptreifung ist) richtig gut gekommen ist."

Just decided to crack open this wonderful bottle and I regret not having a Cohiba Piramides to go with it. I know it was made to match the Cohiba Siglo VI, but that is too heavy a cigar for me :-) A cooperation between master blender Asbel Morales and cigar sommelier Fernando Fernández and they made something out of this world. A wonderful deep and elegant masterpiece that has a long, warm and elegant balanced finish. A rum worthy of the price tag and then some!"

"Im Vergleich zum parallel verkosteten RX930 deutlich zugänglicher, hier zahlt sich der geringere Alkoholgehalt mal richtig aus. Der Bristol-Cubaner ist ein typischer Vertreter der Destilería "Paraíso", leicht und fluffig und herrlich nach Apfel und Birne duftend und schmeckend. Ein idealer Begleiter für einen beschwingten Abend und durchaus auch Freunden anbietbar, die sonst nichts mit Rum zu tun haben. Mir wäre der Rum mit 5-10% mehr Alkohol vermutlich lieber, wenn er dieselben Aromen so schön zur Geltung brächte, aber er ist auch so ein angenehmer Rum mit Wiedererkennungswert."

"Der Rum nimmt nach dem eingießen ins Glas mit dicken, schweren Schwaden sofort Besitz von der Umgebungsluft. Näher am Glas finde ich Sauerkirsche, rote Beeren und Cassis. Begleitet wird das Fruchtkompott von sehr angenehmen und ausgewogen Röst- und Fassnoten. Gefällt mir ausgezeichnet. Ich habe auf die schnelle mit einigen anderen St Lucia verglichen aber der hier ist an der Nase eine Wucht! Am Gaumen haben die Tannine deutlich die Oberhand: viel Würze, Eiche, Leder, salzige Lakritz. Die Früchte sind nur noch dezent im Hintergrund und aus der bitteren Kategorie. Der Rum erinnert mich am Gaumen an alten Armagnac. Der ewig lange Nachklang wird klar von Fass und Würze dominiert. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass die Früchte der Nase nochmals auftauchen aber so gibt es einen gewissen Bruch zwischen Nase und Gaumen. Die bitteren Noten sind aber für mein Empfinden nicht im unangenehmen Bereich. Unabhängig davon ein ausgezeichneter, intensiver, kräftiger Rum."

The nose is intense and has smoky wood and fruit trailed by cinnamon and coffee. The palate takes off where the nose left. A warm and intense rum, yet well balanced with smoky wood, fruits and spices. The finish is extremely long and warm with smoky wood, dried fruits and spices. Price to quality can be argued, when I compare it to my other old Chairman’s Reserve rums for which I paid less than half :-)"

"St. Lucia can be very diverse: sometimes towards Barbados, sometimes towards Jamaica or even some Guyana - this one is more Jamaican.The nose is still a bit closed, very balanced between fruit, herbs and spices. Even after hours in the glass, this isn't quite the big explosion, but in the mouth it's great cinema This is the Chairman's with the best mouthfeel I've tasted so far - very fruity and fantastic alcohol integration. Besides the overripe tropical fruit, ginger and fresh herbaceous menthol notes.Compared to the GotA a bit juicier and not as extremely dry. As with the GotA, I get strong Clarendon vibes - I mean that as a compliment 😉.The finish is surprisingly dark with coffee (chewing beans) as the lead note, then menthol and herbs. Top!"

"The 2001 vintage from the South Pacific Distillery manages to pick me up time and again. Here, a very own dirty note (burnt plastic) meets deep spice, menthol, wood, fruit esters, a minimum of caramel and plenty of medicinal hints. Must be liked or tolerated, aromatically the whole thing is in any case almost breathtakingly complex and worth consciously engaging in each sip - there is simply much to discover. My rating is certainly also a little dependent on my personal preference for very complex rums; but the breadth of the flavor spectrum is simply impressive."

"Nose Good lord, what is this? That's so different compared to all the rums we had to date. The bouquet is odd and exotic and brings you straight to a tropical Island (no we're not influenced by the label, we promise!). First there is green banana, freshly chopped tamarind and manioc, plus sugar cane fried in melted butter. This creation is thoroughly seasoned with pure vanilla (a lot of vanilla). But it's not the familiar vanilla flavour, given by toasted american oak's additive cask maturation, but the purest vanila pods from Réunion. A really entertaining and exotic bouquet. With water: The fruits are taking command now. Palate This is shamanic stuff! Plenty of herbal, vegetal and sweet flavours are dancing around on our palate like crazy. Hard to unravel this compact package. Shall we? Ground tamarind powder in sweet vanilla pudding, new plastics, pink grapefruits juice and banana milkshake, seasoned with mint and tobacco leaves. Weird and exotic combination we know, but this somehow works very well. With water: Becoming sweeter and creamier now. But no new flavours on the table."
