"A very inviting nose, smells like an old rum" is the recurring note — and then most tasters say the palate lets them down. This 22-year continental-aged St. Lucia pot still leans woody and drying, with tobacco, lychee and a little orange peel, but several find it thin and bitter for its age. A promising nose that goes quiet on the tongue.

How does Infinity Spirits The Royal Cane Cask Company St. Lucia 2000 John Dore taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Lovely old nose, thin woody palate Fine on the nose, disappointing after that — the common verdict is a tame, over-oaked palate that doesn't deliver what 22 years promises. A minority found it genuinely fruity.

#4126 Despite the ABV being below 50 it still has a nice warm and spicy touch to it. Lightly fruity with some nice roasted wood as well as a light smoky note. There is a nice natural sweetness to it. Draws nice fast moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some chocolate and spices.

Very inviting nose, smells like an old rum. But falls off quite a bit on the palate as a limp, woody distillate. I'm not at all familiar with the extremely expressive John Dore and I don't particularly like it. A below-average representative from Saint Lucia.
Review by Leo Krüper
Shallow, flat rum. You don't notice much of the age except a little honey and bitters. Reminds me of WIRD profile. A total failure in terms of price.
Review by Jarek
Cross-tasting with seven bottlings from Royal Cane. Promising nose, somewhat one-dimensional on the palate, slightly too woody on the finish. Overall, none of the bottlings convinced me.
Review by Johannes
Exciting! I know few continental matured Lucias. The character is typical, but very tame, or too tame, due to the dilution. Fruit and honey tend to dominate here.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Note: Employment at Perola GmbH (spirits industry), partial professional involvement with evaluated bottlings. All reviews are my personal, unpaid opinion. I don't find it particularly outstanding. A bit thin and quite bitter, astringent and sour. Lots of tobacco, lots of wood, lots of lychee and subtle passion fruit/papaya, a bit of mint, green tea and salty licorice... Doesn't really blow me away personally, also don't understand how after 22 years of continental aging such a low alcohol content can result. Allegedly cask strength according to the manufacturer.
Review by Serge
I like St. Lucia better tropically matured. However, the nose is quite delicious
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023. Single pot still Lucia. Very fruity which is a bit untypical. Loved it.
Review by zabo
I really expected a bit more, 22 years. The nose is still fine, but then there's a lot more to come. Overall very disappointing for its age
Review by Master P
Quite ok, but for the age I would have expected a bit more pep
