Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very good Barbados rum that has a great balance. Did make a note that it needs to rest before nosing because it changed quite a bit over time. Fruity with nice roasted wood notes. Great ABV integration and overall very well balanced. Made a note that the empty glass had some leather and smoke as well as a light medicinal note.
