Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Having this one on my upper shelf, where all the yummy stuff is always makes me happy. I have retasted it and compared to my old notes. This time it got a few more points. This is a very heavy rum that needs a frop of water and a rest before you give it a go. The nose is wonderful yet kind of light, setting off with fruits and some varnish before serving nuts, chocolate and spices before ending it with oak. The palate is, now hold on, a well balanced and complex experience. Bitter and dry at the same time and it draws nice oily curtains. Lots of fruit topped with caramel, spices and smoky oak.

Extrem hohe Qualität, allerdings mit einer mir zu wenig zusagenden rauchigen Note.
