8.0/10

27.03.2021 A nice Velier tasting thanks to my friend Cheng from Singapore. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, light wood, fruity, banana, light olive, light varnish, faint floral. Palate Oily, warm, fruity, orange, tannins, light olive, light salty, spice, light floral. Finish Medium to long, warm, wood, fruits, light orange, faint smoke, light floral. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while of the ABV ruins the full experience.

7.9/10

A bit woodier and drier than I expected after the last spinner. I wish it had more oatmeal, it's a bit too smooth for a Jamaican. It's not a bad rum, but given the price, I don't need it again.

7.6/10

Lemon, grapefruit and solvent aromas, with the sweetness of caramelized vanilla. Lively on the palate, with fairly soft wood, ester takes its place with herbaceous notes, grapefruit is sprinkled with light brown sugar.
