#7120 03.08.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after a horrible night with bad sleep terrible headache and bad stomach. Just slouching in front of the TV today trying to recover. Pretty decent release but the price tag is way off in my mind. Well rounded and sweet profile with roasted wood, caramel, fruits, tobacco, leather and some nutts and marzipan.

👃🏼 = Woody, vanilla, candied orange and apricot, caramel, a bit of nuts and cinnamon.. 👄 = With a bit of liveliness this slightly oily rum adds chocolate, peach and nutmeg. The finish is short and so soft you want to taste it again. This blend is certainly good and well presented but disappointing for its age and price.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Too much caramel, and too weak rum...could be nice, but
