Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I bough this bottle two weeks ago and have been looking forward to crack it open. First off the bat. This rum is blended of rums with an age between 30 and 50 years. The master blender is a woman called Joy Spence (the same name as their 25 year blend) and she did a bang of a job. The perfect rum for a Cohiba cigar. Perfectly blended, complex and a perfectly rounded taste that just keeps on going. A typical Jamaican rum and as good as they come. The price tag is at 500+ euro and this bottle is well worth the money. This version is released in a limited 1440 bottles. Just ordered 2nd edt.

Ordentlicher Rum, die Verdünnung macht ihm aber deutlich zu schaffen bzgl. Intensität

Good Appleton! Unfortunately, the dilution takes away some of the complexity and intensity.
