Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A wonderful rum truly true to its origin on Barbados. Fruity and herbal with some caramel and chocolate. A very well balance and complex rum. Should have bought a few extra bottles.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Ein starker und intensiver Rum, sehr würzig mit blumigen Noten. Nase: Tee, Biskuit, Karamell, getrocknete Ananas, dezent Harz Geschmack: Komplex und vielseitig. Pfirsich, Karamell, Bienenwachs und alles leicht geräuchert. Leicht medizinal. Langer und süßer Abgang: Kandiszucker. getrockneten Pfirsich und vanille Bohnen. Dezent holz und Apfel
Review by Mirco
Kräuter-, Whisky- und Vanillenoten dominieren die Nase, begleitet von Kokos und Rösttönen. Am Gaumen zeigen sich würziges Holz, Karamell, getoastete Aromen und eine feine Bitterkeit. Der Abgang ist warm mit Vanille, etwas Honigsüße und nussigen Nuancen. Sehr sauber destilliert, ausgewogen und mit subtiler Komplexität.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
würde ich blind nie als Barbados Rum erkennen, auch wenn der rockley still etwas anders ist aber hier ist es mir eindeutig zu medizinisch, rauchig, whisky lastig, mit einer seltsamen bitterkeit und Säure... insgesamt auch etwas zu alkoholisch und einfach nicht meins. Starke ähnlichkeit allerdings zum RA Rockley 2021!
Review by Johannes Eisner
Gute Qualität, aber für meinen Geschmack ein wenig leicht im Körper. Mittelmäßiger 2000er Rockley.
Review by Mopar Rules
I like this rum. The bottle is almost empty. A very clean distilled spirit, I’d say a column still rum with no mistakes done. As a result, all flavors are very subtile and somehow it reminds me of a slightly peated Caol Ila Whisky or a Port Ellen. It’s extremely well balanced and the ABV integration is very smooth. Not a typical Rum, but of high craftsmanship quality. The flavors we like with our Caronis and Hampdens are basically a result of tailings.
Review by Daniel
Fazit: Ein Pot Still Rum der zwar intensiv ist, mich aber mit seinem Geschmacksprofil in Richtung Whisky nicht vollständig gewinnen kann.
