Sensational nose - associations with perfectly flavored Christmas cookies come to mind. The palate is extremely accessible, but too much oxidation should not have an effect. A very well-balanced rum that I absolutely love in its perfect state (oxidation in combination with ageing).

8.5/10

14.04.2012 First visit to the Whisky.dk event after returning to Denmark after first living 3 years in Upplands Väsby, Sweden and then 7 years in Shanghai, China. Got back together with old friends to have a nice weekend. Notes. Very dark in colour. Nose: Intense, wood, glue, plum, light coconut, fruitcake. Palate: wood, balanced, fresh, citrus, solvents, dried fruit. Finish: medium to long, wood, roasted, licorice.

The perfect nose! 🤯On the palate, however, the high level can not be maintained (a bit too tart and flat).

... Old Velier Demerara rums are the best you can taste in the rum world. Rums aged rather accidentally for several years in the tropics and nobody topped up the cask contents. The angel's share was 90% or more, which is why the taste is especially full and intense. Even though it's an extra expensive affair, I recommend trying a rum from this series at least once in your life.
