Review by Tschusikowsky
Matching from A to Z. An incredible variety in the nose, mouth and finish. Alcohol top integrated. Very good uitvlugt.
Review by Basti
Tasted blind at the Community x-mas meeting. The Guyana origin was unmistakable. Lots of herbs, licorice, malt, caramel and some pencil shavings on the nose. Many thanks to my Secret Santa for the great sample!
Review by Thunderbird
What a beguiling nose... very multi-faceted, intense and fruity.... Excellent!On the palate, the rum spreads creamy oily to all corners of the mouth and fills it with an interplay of woody, herbal, toasty, dried fruit and coffee! This fits and harmonizes !If the finish was a little longer... it would have been easily enough for an "excellent"! But it remains an exception!
Review by Boletus
Very complex in its depth of aroma and at the same time incredibly round and palatable. Appealing woody notes with spicy and herbal facets meet appropriate fruitiness and floral nuances and, together with the very full mouthfeel, manage to inspire me in the long term.
Review by Alexander Rasch
An exciting rum, which I would not estimate so old. Great fresh and fruity nose and nice complex herbs and spices on the palate. Alcohol is super integrated. Definitely tasty and a rum that will still challenge me, since I have not yet deciphered much.
Review by Mentalo
I liked it much better than the 91 from RA. Alcohol is very well integrated. Overall very herbal, but also a slight sweetness and fruity note. A slightly bitter woody note on the finish. For me, everything fits together much better than with RA.
