Review by Rodolphe
Another fine representative of the Versailles REV. To be fair to each other, I'd have to compare them together. I must say I really like these profiles, they're right up my alley. So I'll give it the same score as the RomDeLuxe collectors, because I find it just as pleasing!

24.02.2024 Great tasting event at Whisky Watcher with food and lots of bottles. Retasting and I stick to my initial score. ------------------------ #4504 02.12.2023 Nice release with medium fruit and spices. The palate is lightly oily with medicinal notes and a light dryness to it. The finish is medium to long with some dried fruit and licorice. The empty glass has a light caramel and faint chocolate note.
Review by Galli33
Very impressive inviting nose with all typical fine demerara notes. On the palate it starts a bit different with a bitte note like a fruit schnaps, but if you keep it longer in mouth you’ll get it. It opens a lot more and come back to it’s demerara notes. Very good. The alcohol is integrated well, as the barrel. The finish is quite long and dry with a lot of licorice and oak notes with remains in mouth a long time. If there wouldn’t be those fruit schnaps notes, i would add 3 more points
Review by DomM
Nicely balanced Profil with some dried fruits. Unfortunately, there is a watered down sensation on the palate which costs this one some points.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasted together with the Rome de Luxe Guyana REV 2006! They are quite similar... but the Milano has a bit more of the classic flavors and the mineral! That gives im a few points more!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Perhaps not quite appropriate to the celebration of the day, but still a very accessible rum. Really very nice roasty, I like that very much. What I miss a little, are a certain variety of flavors and fruitiness. Nevertheless, a solid rum that does not overwhelm.
Review by Basti
The nose pleases me really well. Taste me then a little too dominant bitter / licorice notes. Nevertheless, a delicious rum.
Review by Jakob
Unsurprisingly, the 2006s are quite similar on the nose: dried fruit, subtle spicy and woody notes. What stands out for me in direct comparison is a mineral note that also remains present on the palate. In addition, the obligatory dried plum, leather, licorice, wood, some roasted aromas and caramel sweetness. Aromatic with an appealing complexity. For me, the slight minerality is the most recognizable feature. Overall balanced and with pleasant alcohol integration. In contrast, however, the other 2006s bring significantly more aromatic complexity, here everything seems a little too dull in comparison. We remain at a high level, no question, but in the slipstream of the other representatives of the vintage. In comparison to the 1994 representatives, I repeat my impressions of the other 2006s: much less heaviness, the plum notes appear here more in tandem with currants, the dark tones of wood, licorice, leather and caramel are much less pronounced. Despite the aromatic complexity of this bottling, I am inclined to call it "REV Light". The spectrum of the 2006s also has its charm and the character is undoubtedly recognizable, but in my eyes the REV profile benefits greatly from the long ageing and the resulting complexity. However, the reference points for the younger bottlings can also be described as almost unfair, especially for proven lovers of the 1994 REVs.

Deutlich spannender und komplexer aber auch harmonischer wie der Rom Deluxe 2006. Schönes Ding!
Review by Cinci
Wirkt irgendwie nicht ganz rund, der gute Stoff wird etwas gar stark von Holz und Röstaromen überdeckt. Nur teilweise drücken Noten nach Zimt, getrockneten Pflaumen und Rosinen durch. Bin froh habe ich nur ein Sample.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Velké díky Filipovi za vzorek 👍 Hutná těžká vůně hlavně sušeného ovoce, starého dřeva a bylinek. Chuťově je to podobně těžké. Celkem náročný rum na hodnocení. Na jednu stranu mě láká jakási dřevěně bylinná surovost a na druhou mi to trochu vadí. Chtělo by to ještě pár cl k pořádnému otestování.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
The sixth tasting of the night at Whisky Watcher the 24th of February 2024, with nice company. I found some dried fruit and sherry-like hints in the nose, and more dried fruit, some chocolate, rubber and an oak-finish in the notes
Review by Richard Krupa
krasne vonavy a vyrazny kousek. Ovoce, karamel, drevo a trosku naznak tabaku
Review by Leo Tomczak
Lots of wood, some tobacco. Drifts into bitter herbal oils. Only 52%, but you can feel the alcohol. Interesting bottling.
