9.6/10

I got his one in the morning and just couldn't wait, so I poured one and left it for a bit over 30 minutes. The flavour was there from opening the bottle but after resting the flavours just seemed to pour out of the glass. A wonderful rum even though it made a huge hole in my wallet. If you ever get the chance of a sampler, give it a go because it's really something you should try.

Extremely unusual rum! Fruity, tart, pina colada - crazy...

8.9/10

Absolutely exceptional - very sweet-fruity. On the nose, pina colada with subtle wood notes. On the palate, the very present sweetness remains present and becomes a little too dominant for me overall, from which mE also suffers the complexity. Exciting bottling, but is not for me in the Demerara Olympus.

"Neat, balanced rum. But somewhat one-dimensional and thin. No comparison to the 1974 and 1975 vintages....strongly overrated."
