Simply outstanding
Review by Carlitooo
Only very close behind the 30 and Rumclub.
Review by bossi
In der Nase nehmen wir die typische Ester-Klebstoffnote mit leichter Säure als erstes war, anschließend darunter ein sehr süßer Obstkorb mit Banane, Ananas, grüner Apfel und Zitrusfrüchten. Holz, etwas Rauch und eine leichte Erdigkeit runden die Nase ab. Die Ester aus der Nase sind am Gaumen als erstes bemerkbar, allerdings einiges saurer als die Nase es vermuten lässt. Die komplette Nase ist am Gaumen wieder zu finden und wird im Abgang stark anislastig. Er ist um einiges kräftiger und vorallem runder und reifer als der Duncan Taylor. Einigen von uns schon eine kleine Spur zu rund. Nichtsdestotrotz ein Meisterwerk an Rum. 93 Punkte
Review by Adrian Wahl
I am incredibly grateful to be able to drink this sample. Thank you @ Saibot Ztar. I was hoping the 94 would drop and it would beat the Nobilis 93. But alas, on both the palate and the nose, it's not enough. 92 is still legendary...but I expected even more. In direct comparison with the TRC30 for me on par.

Very good HD ... for me personally definitely not the best
