This review is for a special batch that my local liquor group chose when they went to Barbados and hand selected a barrel after many tastings. It was barrel 1097. This specific bottling was no less than a 9 excellent overall. Very smooth and sweeter than the mount gay XO. The only part that I would rate low was the aroma. This overall is a excellent sipper with a long finish.

Une attaque très (trop) forte mais avec des notes subtil de mélasse dans un second temps. Pas autant aromatique qu'un XO mais il se laisse boire !

Decent for sipping but better with ice. Would be smoother if allowed to be a couple more years in the casket. Medium brown with hints of spices.

Very adequate as a sipper. Certainly spices and oak notes to be enjoyed albeit nothing overwhelming. A lighter version of the XO but very enjoyable nonetheless. Incredible value for less than $30 USD

A good Rum better than most not as harsh as I was prepared for.

J aime beaucoup ce rhum bien boisé, et bien épicé. Veilli 2 fois dans des barils de bourbon. Un petit goût de vanille. Je le conseille vraiment.

A nice rum with a great aroma of oak and vanilla along with aged leather and subtle tobacco notes. Great as a sipper or a mixer if you want a little oak barrel dimension to your cocktail.

Slap all the silly labelling you want on it, it didn't sit in the cask long enough.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Trocha sladkého parfému, sušené banány, citrusy, hřebíček, tropické ovoce. (84 b)
Chuť: Suchý, štiplavý, dřevitý a karamelový. Chuť je fádní, ale zase proti Eclipse je OK. (81 b)
Body: 82/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnáno při posezení s kamarádem v českolipském Baru/Kavárně Kocour. Od této značky jsem měl možnost ochutnat už tři rumy (Black Barrel, Eclipse a Extra Old) a ani jeden mě nijak nezaujal, a když, tak jen vůní, v chuti to bylo zklamání vždy.

Udemærket rom til en billig pris. Lidt vanille smag, og en okay duft. Den er dog også lidt sprittet
