Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this rum at my recent visit at the Saint Lucia Distillers (SLD) and took a bottle with me back home. This is the third release in SLD’s vintage project series after the 2005 and 2009 vintage. For this they explored an unique combination of ex-brandy, ex-red and ex-white wine casks, alongside their traditionally used ex-bourbon casks. It’s made from entirely molasses distilled in 2011 using their three pot stills and Coffey column still. The destillates were aged independently for a minimum of 11 years before being blended together and finished in ex-bourbon casks for an additional 10 months. The nose is fruity and ripe with scents of raisin, banana, pear, lemon and toffee. At the palate it’s full bodied, balanced, sweet, fruity and woody with flavors of strawberry and oak. The finish is rather long with flavors of ripe apple and coconut.

A nice sipping rum, the finish add nice layers of complexity for a pleasant sipping experience
Review by Markus Fjellstad Israelsen
Punchy fruity aroma, but pleasant. Quite tingly on the tongue, taste of plums or similar and the middle with more of a peppery, woody/tobacco finish. Took a few glasses (not in the same night) to really enjoy it, but now I think it is fantastic. Maybe not the best for a beginner, but here we are! Definitely buy again!
