Le Galion French Antilles Virgin Oak Matured (Philbo House Of Taste) 2019
Blind, you'd swear it's Jamaican — one taster clocked "viel Jamaika" and the overripe nose backs him up. Pineapple yogurt, cold smoke and a meaty, savory streak run through it, with the alcohol sitting well even at 50%. Members keep landing around 8.3-8.5, though a couple wish it hadn't been diluted so far and one found the acidity a touch sharp.

- Meaty BBQ notes
- Shortish finish
