8.4/10

8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get is woody with roasted notes like chocolate, nuts, butterscotch, leather, spicy with vanilla, thick, fruity with tropical (coconut) and yellow fruits, some hay. On aeration, fruits become dried with apricots, there is a melon, the wood is smoky and creamy with toffee, some industrial, metallic notes arise, like rubber, copper. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is balanced and tasty with lots of fruits like banana, toasted coconut, apricots, raisins, as the wood is roasted with cream toffee, leather, pastry, burnt sugar, nuts, spicy, molasses opens with hay, later black tea.Resting helps the rum with new spectre of tones like green fruits, plum, industrial, medicinal ones with menthol, rubber and some copper.Along the way, it becomes sweet, thick with honey. 8,4:The finish is long, coppery and dry, balanced with all variety of notes from the palate... Edit:18.7.25, 20.12.25

6.5/10

Interesting nose, some light peat with roasted barrel influence and chocolate. Mouth is a bit non discript, with hay and almond as well as some fruity elements. The finish was short with bitter edge and barrel and dried fruit notes. A blend which I had hopes for but ended up being a bit flat

A good blend of Demerara burnt sugar/ caramel notes and some fruity notes. Wood, leather and dried fruit on the nose. Pastries, cappuccino, heat, burnt sugar, almond and sour cherries on the palate. Finish is sweet, with almonds and dried fruit. It has a good suite of flavours when looked for but some are quite faint which hampers the rating.
