Review by Felix Reiber
Wow! I am overwhelmed by this intensity and complexity! After the Rare Cask and the first Quincentennial, I didn't expect any improvement, but this release is either on par or a notch more exciting. On the nose, wonderful aromas of wood, dried fruits, cherry, dark chocolate, leather, and nuts quickly spread. Roasted notes perfectly lead into licorice, brown caramel, cardamom, and baking spices. On the palate, a pleasant sweetness emerges first, then transitions to dried fruits, wood, cocoa, leather, clove, and vanilla. Licorice, roasted nuts, dark caramel, herbs, fruitcake, and coffee complement the aromatic profile into an interesting spectacle. The long and intense finish shows beautiful cask notes. Wood, dried plum, dried figs, leather, espresso, roasted notes, and cocoa now blend with brown caramel, black tea, and floral hints. I occasionally had associations with Trinidad, Guyana, and Mauritius. I really, really like this dram. How you can get such complexity from a blend of 7 and 10 years is beyond me. A serious recommendation to everyone who likes good rum, and the current bottle price is a gift. 😃

Interesting profile, quite complex and depth, spicy notes, plums, berries, leather combined with demerara sugar sweet and bitter notes.. not bad for 120€
Review by Tim Reiber
Wieder eine großartige Abfüllung von der Bleeding Heart Rum Company, die die meisten Rumkenner nicht auf dem Schirm haben. Grade Trinidad, Guyana und natürlich Portwein Fans kommen hier auf ihre Kosten und jetzt für 110 Euro am Release sogar für einen schmalen Taler. In der Nase gleich viel Frucht, ganz viel Gewürze und deutlich der Portwein. Die samtige Aromatik von Hagebuttenmarmelade sticht bei mir am Anfang auch hervor. Später kommt sogar eine fruchtige BBQ Sauce durch. Am Gaumen dann der Trinidad-Karakter mit Kräutern, intensivem Holz und Backgewürzen. Der 2025er Release ist insgesamt auch karamelliger als der erste. Der Guyana-Funk, der an Bienenwachsnoten erinnert, lässt auch nicht auf sich warten. Der lange und würzige Abgang hat viel Holz, Nelke und Kräuter wie auch braunen Zucker.
