Un des rhums qui m’a procuré le plus d’émotion au milieux du line up des tous les Albions Full proof de Velier . Preuve que certains « bas degrés » transcendent les papilles lorsque l’équilibre est parfait .

Another of the nice rums in the tasting today. This is a great rum, maybe the proof should have been a tiny tad higher but all in all nice. A very expensive drop, which is very hard to get your hands on, but we'll worth every penny.

Würde mit höherer Abv sicher noch besser kommen, auch nach mehrmaligem Verkosten ein toller Tropfen😊

Leider etwas dünn, was sich auch im Geschmack bemerkbar macht.

8.6/10

A liquid cream candy - on the nose extremely dominant caramel, vanilla and cream notes. On the palate, spicier hints are added, but unfortunately the dilution is also noticeable and takes the rum a little density. Nevertheless, an extremely drinkable and pleasing drop.

Very horny bourbon nose. But too flat on the palate.
