Tasted at Spirits Days in Tournai, quick notes: Really not my thing, too dry, vinous, a bit of orange, but overall it's too straightforward and too dry. NB: I'm not sure if it's exactly the same or if the label has changed since.

8.0/10

Different variant of the 1977 (see my photo). Extremely woody rum. Probable French oak, I get a lot of that specific acidity in this. Its overdone though. Too old too much wood, but still interesting. I'm not too sensitive when it comes to woodiness but I understand this would be too much for most. It was fun to try.
