Rendsburger Rockley Still 1986
Don't expect easy here — at 63.8% this old Rockley hits sharp and needs a drop of water and time in the glass before it opens. Once it does: honey, smoke, wax and herbs, with some fresh raspberry-and-lime fruit threading through. Tasters call it dense and precise with a long, dry finish, though the 18 years leave it a touch light on body.

How does Rendsburger Rockley Still 1986 taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Sharp, smoky high-proof Rockley needing water A loved entry in the Rockley 1986 line — honey, smoke and fresh fruit done well. Several rank it just behind the older bottlings; the high ABV reads sharp on the nose.

Review by Mirco
Rockley Tasting 1986/87/2000 Einer der Spitzenvertreter der Rockley 86 Reihe. Reiht sich jedoch hinter RA,SS und Duncan ein.
Review by Jakob
Man findet die typischen Marker des Rockley-Profils fast ausnahmslos, Honig, Früchte, Rauch, Vanille, Holz sind allesamt präsent - mir fehlt aber ein wenig die präsente Frische der vergorenen Früchte und des Honigs, die die absolute Spitzenklasse der West Indies Releases aus 1986 auszeichnet. Es bleibt dennoch ein grossartiges Release auf qualitativ eindrucksvollem Niveau.

Intensiver angenehmer Barbados….
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum is from one of the remaining old rum houses in Flensburg, Northern Germany. They have been in the business for a long time and continuesly makes a good bootle. This is a sharp rum that will need a drop of water or two in my mind. Powerful nose and a punch on the palate. This base rum originates from Rockley and was part of a major export from 1986. Primarily matured on continental soil, which is very obvious when tasting.
