Distilia Westerhall Estate The Golden Age of Piracy Edward Low 1993
Opinion splits here: some call this a well-balanced, structured 29-year-old, others find it a familiar, slightly sweet caramel-and-oak profile that could pass for Barbados or Belize. Expect vanilla, milk chocolate, burnt sugar and plenty of wood, with an oily body and a warm but short finish. One taster nailed it: "Fruity Foursquare like rum." The 64.5% needs air and a drop of water.
The community says- Oily, warm body
- Alcohol well integrated
- Short finish

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Woody, caramel-forward Grenada, familiar profile Most enjoy it — balanced caramel, vanilla and oak with well-tamed alcohol — but many feel a 29-year Grenada should be more distinctive, and the finish fades fast.

Review by ilRummista
Un’ottima bevuta. Rum ben bilanciato, ma al contempo strutturato e complesso. Peccato per il finale, che considerato anche l’invecchiamento poteva essere un po’ più persistente. Comunque resta una bevuta veramente piacevole ed interessante.
Review by Jakob
For me, the positive surprise from the third Piracy release. The usual profile of long tropically matured molasses rums from ex-bourbon casks comes to the fore here in its purest form. What does that mean? On the one hand, there is nothing new here in terms of aroma. Belize or Foursquare serve a comparable spectrum; nonetheless, an even more tart tonality brings in new echoes here. It is precisely the familiar aromas of caramel, vanilla, oak and spices that are present here in an appealing form. The alcohol is still somewhat dominant at the beginning, but after a little time in the glass it gives way to the other aromas and reveals a good balance of elegant sweetness, oak wood influences and subtle spicy aromas. If this represents the usual quality of Westerhall releases aged in tropical conditions for a long time, I'm excited to see what else awaits us in the future.

Wahrscheinlich das beste was ich bis dato aus Grenada getrunken habe. Könnte blind auch als Rum aus Belize durchgehen. Hat fast schon was von flüssigem Nutella nur halt nicht süß! Kein Komplexitäts-monster aber gut. Andererseits ist da fast jeder Barbados Venezuela oder Belize Rum spannender🫠
Review by Johannes
Für mich ein ziemlich nichtssagender, neutraler Rum. Im Endeffekt Neutralalkohol, der lange gelagert wurde. Alkohol sticht schon etwas heraus.
