This is a great full body cask strength rum and I can only recommend it. Only 3000 bottles made so you have to be fast.

7.4/10

The nose is pungent, the palate intense with vanilla, coconut, burnt sugar, wood. Alcohol not particularly well integrated. The finish is medium long. Tastes like an average Foursquare from a bourbon barrel. I'll stay tuned and keep looking for my first really good Mount Gay.

Initially in the nose a great start, roasted orange, pleasant barrel notes,almost floral.... Taste leaves some herbal, alcohol is quite present and unfortunately not as well integrated as I remembered. Also the typical distillery character is very lacking here. In the finish quite quickly passing and without further occurrences. A very high-priced rum that has not picked me up today.
