Light and very easy to drink (doesn’t slow you down). Lots of caramel, hints of smoke, round wood, lots of vanilla and some cream, brown sugar, some minor hints of peat.

Review by Marcus Ekornes
Little to no smoky notes from the extra ageing in islay whisky casks
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Went to the local guy yesterday just bacause he's just around the corner, almost. This is definitely a mixer and the Islay cask is very clear with its smoky/peated notes. Pure it didn't really kick off and I'm not an "on the rocks" kind of guy. Where it performed well was in a Rum'n'cola and mixed with a bit of ginger beer and a lime.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Yes, it's more drinkable neat than its brothers "Especial" and "Reserva", precisely because of the smoky note, which suits the rum well (you can save yourself the accompanying cigar 😎). A pleasant, mild rum, but for me it's still too tired and lackluster.

Auch diesen bei der Ausreise von Tunesien im Dutyfree Shop probieren dürfen, aber leider auch nicht mein Fall. Für mich schmeckt er schon arg nach Whisky, was überhaupt nicht mein Ding ist. Bleibt er unangenehm in Erinnerung
