Review by Martin Ekrt
Ve vůni se mísí jamajská mísa tropického ovoce s peated whisky. Čím déle se nechá odležet, tím vice cítím jamajské tóny. Chuťově to není vůbec zlé. Příjemně nasládlé a ovocné, finiš se spíš projeví v závěru, který není zas tak intenzivní jak bych čekal. Na roční zrání a vysoké ABV docela v pohodě.

Onion , sulfurous, undrinkable

Soo many esthers with smoke
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4861 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Intense, faint wood, ester, fruity, overripe, banana, spice, peat, light smoke, light glue. Palate Intense, ester, light wood, warm, fruity, overripe, banana, faint pineapple, faint nutts, peat, light smoke, dry. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, ester, faint roasted, light smoke, peat, pineapple, medium dry. This is a bomb if you like whisky in my mind, the peated/smoke notes are definitely there and I like smoke. Price to quality can be argued 😊
Review by Johannes
Even though the whisky finish is well integrated, I just can't do much with it.
Review by TheJackDrop
Tasted with live whisky. I really didn't find it interesting, it doesn't work, and you lose the hampden :(
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Very pleasant nose but a really unpleasant palate, the peat doesn't work at all here (and yet I love peaty whisky... and Hampden high esters), the marriage just doesn't work at all.
Review by Richard Krupa
Too much raisin for me. Sharp
