The theme members keep landing on is the split between nose and palate. It smells fruity and soft — banana, tropical fruit, vanilla, a bit of green apple — then, as one taster puts it, "ça pete" and the Jamaican ester and funk take over, with licorice and black pepper close behind. A big multi-origin blend that shifts constantly; give it time in the glass.

Review by Eric Frechin
Tasted in sample twice. The first time blind. It's confusing because each tasting seemed different to me! It must come from the multitude of different rums in this blend. The nose switches between fruity/pastry molasses and grassy/peppery agricole. Mouth warm and lively. A nice woody and fruity finish. I preferred the 2025 release (my top 1) and 2026 (2nd).
Review by Jakob
Interesting mix of molasses and Agricole. The sheer amount of components of the blend seems unusual at first, but the overall picture is quite appealing. May be called a successful experiment, but lacks the final finesse.
Review by Djehey
A spicy side and a beautiful richness that will make this bottle last and give a lot of pleasure!
Review by Morgan Garet
It would be too long to note all the notes felt during the tasting because on the nose and in the mouth you really feel it. The different origins, sometimes pastry-like, sometimes solvent-like, then come the fruits and then the spices. An infinitely GOURMET infinity bottle.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Huge difference between nose and palate. On the nose very fruity and soft, lots of tropical fruits. On the palate, it hits and you immediately get that Jamaican side with esters and funky. A lot is going on, nice blend.
Review by John Coffey
Quite a success all the same because the bet is bold.
Review by Jacques etdom
I like it a lot, a real journey with main destinations Nicaragua (recognizable from the Dantes cuvée) and the fruitiness of Clarendon. After that, it goes back and forth constantly, both on the nose and palate. You travel everywhere. Exactly what I expected from such a king blend!
Review by L' Art Rhumiste
Very complex and long, this rum really needs time to fully express itself and to enjoy every evolution of the profile. The Jamaican and Barbados profiles dominate, but you can find others in a gourmand, pleasant and well-balanced whole.
