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.

Un rhum de tradition anglaise très typé, fort, avec des notes boisées très présentes.
[Batch #001 -- la différence est assez notable]

when we first tried this one at a men's rum night, it was the worst of the 10 we sampled. a few months later, it is rated much high. went from a 5 to a 7. maybe it needs some air? maybe the rums or food we had prior to it helped. i just say, caution, or, if you try it, don't give up on it. some men said it didn't taste like rum.

I have to disagree with low ratings,it's a very interesting and smooth rum, with only 7000 bottles produced each year. It was nice in the nose,not too sweet on the palate. If u have a chance try it
