Benchmark, intense old St. Lucia

For me one of the top representatives from St. Lucia. However, this bottling is not part of the absolutely classic profile. The dirty Lucia notes are used much more discreetly here, which makes the rum appear rounder. Very nice!
Now this one almost brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful rum with very good ABV integration. Well balanced and lightly fruity and warm/oily on the palate. It draws the most wonderful curtains in the glass and the empty glass is put of this world. They really found the right barrel here 😊
Without direct comparison, one of the best Lucias I have drunk. One still notices the beastliness and complexity of the legendary 1999 of Blackadder, but in a much more toned down and rounded form.
After the two Versailles drunk tonight, I am not disoriented. The profile is not so far, even if the nose is much more fruity. We find in mouth the woody/bitter/empryeumatic side counterbalanced by herbal notes. Here we also find a rather floral note. It is very good.
