Très étonnant ! Un côté fumé, grillé persistant tout le long. Je suis habitué à cela dans les whiskys écossais mais pas dans les rhums…. Mais la je retrouve un petit fumé type lagavulin. Dans l ensemble c est bon, mais il demande à être pas mal aéré. Je changerai probablement ma note lors d une seconde dégustation.
Review by Oliver
Dunkel und intensiv. Die Rauchnote ist in der Nase noch eher dezent. Am Gaumen dann flüssiger Aschenbecher. Guyana meets Islay. Abartig, aber irgendwie auch geil.
Review by Jakob
Whiskey finishes hardly ever make real sense in rum in my eyes - unfortunately, I can't shake that feeling here either. While the smokiness can certainly be said to have a complementary effect, for me as a lover of the classic Guyana profile with heavy sweetness, dark fruits and dense aromatics, these flavors are simply not needed. In the end, however, everyone may decide for themselves, it does not really pick me up.

Review by Johannes
Oh je, wieder mal ein Whisky Finish. Allerdings ist dieses ganz gut eingebunden und nicht so störend. Komisch, dass hier in der App Sherry Finish eingeben ist….
Review by Adrien B
Nez : lourd, vin cuit, cerise confite très noire, souffre, allumette craquée, Bouche : très très souffré, boisé trash. Bof la fumée prend le dessus. Trop trop marqué par le fût. Pourrait plaire à des amateur de whisky tourbé, pas à moi.
