Perola Bellamy‘s Reserve High Ester Cask Finish 10th Anniversary Edition
Most people land in the same place on this 12-year Jamaican: pleasant nose, easy sipper, but too sweet. Tropical fruit, banana and custard up front, papaya and brown sugar on the palate. One reviewer called it "really a sweet tooth," and several felt the sugar buries the underlying spirit. Nice enough, just not deep.

Review by Oli Dekrell
Very tasty despite the high Esther content
Review by Johannes
Phew, pretty indefinable! The sugar almost completely masks the base. A very alcoholic note remains in the finish.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relaxed easy Jamaica sipper but a little too sweet for me personally.
Review by Oliver
Very mild and (almost too) sweet Jamaican
Review by Kai Lo
Ok but not worth 60 euros

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Really a sweet tooth. A pleasant nose. Like an easy sipper Jamaica. But then it hits the palate. Unfortunately also no real complexity. The Barbados basis really only gets you so far. I would wish that had spent years in there and was not sugared.
