Čekal jsem stropovou pecku, která bude večerní top.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
11.05.2008 Sanya in China is what Mallorca and Ibiza is to the Europeans. A beautiful place with long sandy beaches and mostly 5 star hotels. Notes. Light in colour. Smoky wood with some banana and coconut. Oily naturally sweet palate with added caramel and spices. Finish is medium long and sweet with light smoke and spices.

Très bon rhum, un très léger piquant mais bien agréable
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Teil 3/8 unseres 1986er Rockley Tastings: 12y alter purer rockley, sehr verhalten an der Nase, geschmacklich Honig und Bienenwabe pur und etwas birne, dafür nicht so komplex aber das was er kann, macht er gut und bringt er auf den Punkt! würde ich den noch zum normalen Kurs bekommen, würde der in geile Air Mails kommen! 🤤🍯🐝❤️👌
Review by Pavel Spacek
I sooo much love Rockley. But 45% decrease the taste a lot... should be 95/100 :(
Review by Nico Köppe
Ein klasse Old School Rockley aus 86, recht jung aber mit ordentlich Potenzial. Nase.... Leichter Rauch, Honigsüße und etwas muffiges Holz. Taste.... Typische Rockley Aromen schließen sich im Mund zusammen, eine leichte Süße die unkompliziert den Rum begleitet, der Rauch wandelt sich etwas in Richtung Asche, feuchte Asche... Abgang.... entweder liebt man es oder man hasst es... Der Rockley Taste verweilt mittellang , etwas Honig bleibt am Gaumen, der Rauch steht hier über dem Rest. Alkohol ist absolut nicht störend und passt sehr gut für 46%, Es ist aber noch Luft nach oben, damals einer meiner ersten Erfahrungen mit diesem Stil.

Great Rockley, refined and well balanced. Miss more complexity to reach top of 86 Rockley’s.
