Review by Joachim Guger
You have to let it breathe for a long time, the sherry veil disappears and a very nice nose emerges. Then mega in the mouth! Very full and warm. Dry wood and dried fruit. Long woody finish. Great Jamaican. No idea why it's still available. Edit: Already a collector's item.
Review by Thomas Wille
great, old monymusk that entertains for long evening hours.
Review by Buddudharma
Bin eigentlich kein Fan von Sherry-„Finishes“, aber hier funktioniert es einfach hervorragend. Tolle Balance mit vielen fruchtigen Noten, hohe Komplexität, tolle Intensität und langer Abgang. Ein fantastischer Rum!
Review by mto75
To put it figuratively, the nose reminds me of a fermented dried fruit basket, plus allspice, old barrel, aniseed, wild herbs, caramel candy à la Werther's Echte. I like it extremely well! The palate is no less disappointing, caramel sweetness, mango, spices, barrel, slightly peppery. Long roasty-chocolaty finish! Absolutely top quality! Many thanks to Neuwied for this!
Review by Harald
Farbe: Mahagoni Geruch: Mon Cherie - Schokolade, fruchtig (Kirsche, Dattel). Schwere Gewürze, Lebkuchen, Sherry und nasses Holz. Geschmack: Im Mund Toffee, Schokolade und Gewürze. Beim Schlucken würzig und vollmundig, viel Toffee und Schokolade, mit Sherry und edlem Holz. Schwach fruchtig (Dattel, Dörrpflaume). Wirklich sehr lecker. Abgang: Lang Würzig und holzig, Toffee, Schokolade, trocken.

If you like Jamaican funk without too much bling this is it. Unfortunately the bottle has already become pretty high priced, no wonder with this well balanced profile and the tender care used when creating it. A perfect fruity and funky nose sliding into a wonderful palate with fruits, black tea and tannins. The finish is long and very well balanced with fruit and spices. Only 750 bottles made and thus very hard to find.

oh, that's great
Review by Leo Tomczak
Very dry, sublime rum that shows its age. The sherry finish is subtle but noticeable. Brings in some red fruits, otherwise the rum would certainly have been far too dry for me. As it is, it remains a heavy companion that needs attention. Not for the faint-hearted and not a beginner's rum. I miss a solid finish, which I simply expect from such an old rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr schöne Nase, die geschmacklich mir aber leider ein bisschen zu viel Holz hat. Schön sind aber vor allem die Noten nach starkem Schwarztee, Cassis, Kräutern und Muskat sowie Lakritz. Sehr komplex und lecker und ausgewogen aber nicht ganz mein Geschmack!
Review by John Coffey
Very high quality rum. And yet I am not a big fan of rums in sherry casks.
