Famille Ricci Volt Face 2021
A Jamaica–Guyana blend that punches above its 66.6% on paper — several tasters call the alcohol surprisingly well-integrated, almost an easy sipper for the strength. Expect roasted coffee, honey, dried fruit, dark chocolate and a heavy, earthy Guyana core with Worthy Park's varnished fruit peeking through. A couple of members found it a touch one-dimensional or drying, but most saw a smart blend.
The community says- Great alcohol integration
- Roasted, earthy depth
- But: Can read astringent

Heavy Jamaica-Guyana blend, well-tamed 66.6% Most see a well-made high-proof blend with roasted, earthy depth and shockingly good alcohol integration. A few find it too dry, one-note, or that the power fades fast.

Review by Djehey
A 66,6°, l'intégration de l'alcool est remarquable ! On pourrait presque dire que c'est un easy sipper. On sent bien les deux origines ainsi que les deux essences de bois. Le côté pot still ne se fait pas trop sentir. Une belle réussite.
Review by Vincent D
Already heavy on the nose. The two origins face each other. The heaviness of Guyana and the varnished fruit of Jamaica. On the palate, it's heavy and fruity, earthy and complex. A great blend, even if the alcohol is there!
Review by Jakob
Very dominant dried fruit flavors that take up a bit too much space for me.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 4 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light roasted wood, dried fruit, light nutts, light coffee, faint chocolate. Palate Warm, light wood, roasted, light coffee, light honey, light chocolate, light almonds, light fruits. Finish Long and warm, medium dry, light wood, faint chocolate, dried fruit, light almonds. Extra note. Got better as it warmed up in my hand.

Wouh, quelle diablerie ! La puissance est présente mais s’essoufle un peu vite malheureusement.

"plutot goutu, mais compliqué à boire. bcp trop astreingent pour moi, j'avais la gorge très seche en fin de degustation. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Caramel, Mielleux En bouche : Fruits secs, Lourd "
Review by Jacques etdom
Good blend. The Jamaican is present, then the Guyana takes over, rounded out by the chestnut barrel. Alcohol present but integrated. It was with this that I discovered this top bottler, who continues to take me from surprise to surprise, and above all, no longer to be put off by such high degrees. A job well done.
