Sip this one slowly and neat — it's an unaged, cane-juice ester bomb at 65.6%, so it hits hard. Expect intense fruit, glue-like ester, floral notes and a touch of creamy sweetness, with a long warm finish. One taster called it a "South African hogo bomb," and several compare it to white Jamaican pot still like New Yarmouth. Give it time in the glass to settle.
The community says- Intense funky ester
- Juicy tropical fruit

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Intense white cane-juice ester bomb Most tasters are surprised how much they enjoy this white cane-juice ester bomb — juicy, fruity, funky. A few find the ester slightly over the top, which is the whole point.

The name says it all. High Ester. For me, a little over here but that is a matter of taste.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute beast, almost a bit like Blanco Jamaica New Yarmouth.
Review by TheJackDrop
Whisky Live 2023, quick tasting session! Top, an atypical profile that appealed to me.
Review by Filip Šikula
White rums never cease to amaze me. It started with a long Monday from habitation velier and continues here. Beautifully round and creamy with a hint of canagon. When you take a sip, there's an explosion of flavors that vibrates the whole mouth and goes away for a long long time. Wonderful
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2019. I rate 8.7 out of 10, excellent rum, which ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.
Review by Slivomír
The aroma is pronounced, not entirely pleasant. You can smell cream, cashew, spices, technical scents, mushrooms in a sour-salty brine, black olives. The taste is extremely juicy, fruity, a bit sweetish. It's a really strong ester bomb.
Review by Maarten Leewis 🇳🇱
South African hogo bomb! I can’t believe I’m enjoying this.
Review by Moss Cail
Really strong yet deceptively well balanced.
