Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Usually these releases are pretty good, but this one is a bit out of balance. The workshop is there and som are th fruits once rested. The curtains are beautiful and slow and the empty glass is nice and has nuts and iodine to it.
Review by Buddudharma
Once again a St. Lucia where I can't understand the bad reviews. JD1 &V is simply a great profile, period. Nevertheless, this is one of the weaker barrels, lacking a little depth and fruitiness. All in all, however, a very good rum at a killer issue price.
