An extremely versatile complex LP!!! This is exactly mine! On the palate sweetness, spiciness, wood and light esters alternate again and again! It offers the complete LP portfolio! Excellent

Amazing rich, yet mellow fruitiness on the nose. Sweet, fruity on the palate combined with some spices. I don’t get much of any LP bacon/meaty notes - just some smoke at the end. I like this very much. Add-on: RA / Nobilis / TRC: Very nice and mellow fruity notes with honey in all three. TRC is noticeable more woody/aged on the nose, however. RA most fruity and powerful on the palate. Nobilis somewhat tamed with noticeable less fruits. Wood and some smoke enter the picture. TRC with very nice combination of wood and fruits. Most elegant of the trio. Nice vintage/mark for enjoyable Jamaican sippers. 😊

Durchaus etwas überraschend - sehr rundes Profil mit aussergewöhnlicher Balance aus Fruchtestern, schwerer Süsse und leichter Würze. Tolle Auswahl, ein vorzüglicher Tropfen.

04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. A fresh and well balanced release. Lots of rotten fruit with medium esters and light caramel. The finish is very long and is lightly dry.

VRW 2000 ist ein gutes Mark und Jahr. Die Nase ist noch etwas verhalten. Am Gaumen dann sehr angenehm weich und ausgewogen. Mittlere Ester und Speck Noten kombiniert mit Holz und ein wenig Pfeffer. Insgesamt lecker.

8.4/10

Der Rum kann einen verrückten Trick, öffnet man die Flasche und es riecht direkt volles Rohr nach Jamaika, aber im Glas ist er überraschend verschlossen - selbst nach Stunden. Es gibt fruchtige Ester. Ananas und überreife Melone, aber auch eine fruchtige Vanille, wie man sie vielleicht aus Barbados kennt, dazu süßes Gebäck und Marzipan. Im Mund schlagen saure, fruchtige Ester ein, die eher an stärkere Marks erinnern, Pfirsicheistee, die Rauchigkeit von Curryblättern und etwas Bitterkeit aus dem Holz. Alkohol bleibt die ganze Zeit sehr weich, der Abgang eher kurz und mild mit einer leichten Frische. Das ist einerseits ganz gut, aber andererseits werde ich das Gefühl nicht los, dass da noch viel mehr möglich gewesen wäre. Update: Mandeln, überall Mandeln. In der Nase, im Mund, im Abgang.
