Review by Jack M
The surprise of the evening. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the Islay finish (having found it disgusting in another rum) but this was really enjoyable. It was subtle enough and added to the rum rather than overpowering and destroying it.
Review by Daniel
Angenehm weich, rauchige Whiskynote gepaart mit leichter Süße.
Review by Marcus Ekornes
Very pleasant undertone of smokiness. My favourite of rums extra matured in Islay casks
Review by Simon Mathias Kaspersen
Meget speciel smag. Smager voldsomt røget som whiskey, og af træ. Men det er tydeligvis en Rom.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Impressive smoked style rum. You really have to be in the mood for this. I am not a “smoke aficionado”, otherwise I would have set the score closer to 90.
