I finished my old 30 year bottle during the weekend and just had to crack open the new release. I got this bottle at a very favourable price so for me a very good price to quality.

Pleasant and mellow for sure, but no match against more complex stuff

I really enjoyed this review and learned a lot of interesting facts about this exceptional rum (thanks to Robert Polo for some of the information). The price seems obviously incredible, but I must honestly say I understand it and it’s worth at least tasting the rum somewhere in a bar. It’s a piece of history and you can’t even imagine how much work goes into such a product.
