I am referring to batch no 4: nice bottle, amber colour; this is a complex and flavorful rum; for the aging process bourbon and whisky barrels have been used with a dominant proportion of whisky barrels for batch no 4. This can be easily recognized when tasting this rum. Tropical fruits and spice dominate the taste together with that hint of whisky-dryness. Very nice, fruity and long lasting aftertaste. From my view a very special rum. According to producer information no artificial coloring is used and the rum is not chill filtered which is very much appreciated.

Batch 001.

This is definitely a cognac aged rum, with a little whisky aging as well. I like it, but I think the cognac/whisky have a little too much influence. I generally prefer straight rum.

Smells and tastes of cognac, whisky, and a touch of vanilla and honey. Nice at 44%abv, but not enough rum flavor for me to rate it higher.

Vibrant oak and caramelized portobello mushrooms! Bitter chocolate and orange citrus! Bourbon vanilla! The nose is HUGE. The drink is dry and sharp almost stringent and bottled at 43.2 the heat numbs and lingers. I paired Blue Penny with Kiwi, black cherries, raw almonds, dried turkish apricots and extremely tart green just about to start blushing gravenstein apples. Fight fire with fire it's said and my oh my these acidic mates really brought out the warm smokey qualities of this rum.
I'm a fan and though pricey I have found a place that out the door lessens my wealth by $53.99 which is great because I have seen it around the $70.00 mark at a so called 'mega store'. Would I spend $70.00 for this rum? The competition is fierce at that mark and not just for rum!! Options are a plenty why not spend a little more and drink with the angels!? Well Penny Blue skies shine bright and life is good as is. At half a century this is top of the peak sipping rum for the Scotch whiskey and dry rum lovers.

This one got me pretty disappointed.. The main sniff is covered in acetone. Even the main taste is covered in acetone. There is a taste in the bottom.. But the acetone totally takes over.. I shall make a new try when itยดs aired for 30 mins. But for now this one will never enter my cabinet.

Heavy Toffee nose, creamy feel almost thick, full bodied, straight forward molasses taste wouldโ€™ve taken it for a non-too sweet Panamanian rum with a slight bitter finish. Solid rum from an island off the coast of madagascar

Iโ€™ve been enjoying the bottle for years. Slight honey, caramel on the nose; slight citrus, pronounced vanilla across the palate; warm tones across the back of the throat; nice bottle!

Nothing special...no complex and short aftertaste...I expect more.

Natural sweetness, it like Barbados's rum.
Very tasteful and has some transparent feeling, and also long aftertaste.

Had the 001 Batch which was so so, but #002 was hotter and tastier.
