Buying one of these bottles the proceeds went to charity for the hard hit people of Haiti! The rum is really nice and the whiskey finish gives it a nice elegance!

8.8/10

Really a stunner, this aged Vaval. The fierce unaged clairin is tamed by the whisky barrel, receiving a nice full layer of complexity with tropical fruits, especially ananas that goes well along with the aniseed and the sugarcane notes
