This is definitely one of my favorites so far. Not to sweet not to dry, right down the middle. A spicy sweet fruity oak taste.

A little pricey compared to many other of my favorites in the 8, 9, 10 ranges. But not the most expensive and reasonable enough to keep in your rotation. Yum.

En god rom fra Barbados, men ikke så dog som jeg havde troet af en XO.
Egentlige dejlig smag med noter af tobak og ??
God lang eftersmag, men ikke på højde med andre XO'er.

Great bottle, mediocre an unremarkable rum. Looks impressive, but the quality taste just isn't present.

Since writing my first review on this I have upgraded it 1 point because I have come to appreciate that this simple and uncomplicated rum is an actual delight to serve neat or as a mixer. Either way it is pleasant, tasty without trying too hard.

J'ai commandé cette bouteille sans vraiment en attendre beaucoup et j'ai été très agréablement surpris : c'est rudement bien fait étant donné le prix ! Alors il n'a pas une forte personnalité, il ne laisse pas un souvenir impérissable, il n'est pas hors du commun mais ce qu'il fait il le fait bien. Il est très bien équilibré avec un juste dosage de sucre, d'épice et de fruit. Il se boit aisément avec beaucoup de plaisir sans jamais être ennuyeux. Bref à ce tarif c'est un grand standard à découvrir et à faire découvrir. Je n'hésiterai pas à le recommander à ceux qui souhaitent s'essayer au rhum !

A bit too much of a bite for me , i prefer it in a longer drink. Very flavoursome but the aftertaste is just a bit too much for my palette , good value though for a very decent and well made Barbados rum.

Great with just a single, large ice cube. Less sweet than most. Very good!

Dette er en hæderlig rom, men når man begynder at lære andre rom at kende. Så falder den her bare ud, den er kedelig og tilbyder intet.
