8.7/10

Slightly more straightforward than the second R.A.S.C. release. Here too, molasses, dried plum and dried fruit, barrel notes, tobacco and subtle fruit on the nose. The palate is then somewhat drier, spicier, more woody - an excellent rum, my preference goes slightly to the second release, because it has a little more depth thanks to the leathery tonality.
