Review by HenryL
Guyana clearly dominates the nose. Beautiful dark notes of plum, pear and wood. Overall very round, soft and pleasing. In the mouth, the alcohol is appropriate for the 62.2%, but is surprising given the gentle nose. Picks me up!
Review by Johannes
I don't know if my sample is not quite right, but there are such clear off-notes of earth, moss and mold that I can hardly drink it. The alcohol is also very poorly integrated!
Review by Jonas
Price-performance top! Significantly more percentages and 15 months post-maturation in ex-Cognac barrels have done him good. Only the funk has unfortunately suffered somewhat under the post-maturation. Otherwise, the typical flavors by the Barbados and Spanish shares plus fruit by the cognac.
Review by Sebastian.W
Alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but good value for money at release.
Review by Djehey
Very greedy profile. Very present on the palate, in contrast to the more discreet nose. Excellent value for money!
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very alcoholic in the nose. Needs time. French oak comes through. After the alcohol fades away it's a very decent drop. Less Jamaican driven than the normal "eleven". More Foursquare/panama driven.
Review by zabo
Also für den Preis kann man definitiv nichts sagen. Nur der Alkohol ist nur anfangs ein wenig mehr als präsent. Mit ein wenig Zeit im Glss wird es aber besser. Als Mixer gibt er auch eine gute Figur ab.
