Not the most intense '86 Rockley around but very pleasant and drinkable while keeping the characteristic Rockley notes. The fino influence is there but never imposing.
The second release in the series of 1986 Rockley Still Bristol Classic Rums, this was cask finished in Fino sherry cask. The added 4 years and the fino have taken some of the roughness of the 12yo, but my oh my - the flavours are there, and Fino seems to emplasize some of them. Pine sap, tar, smoke, herbality...An amazing product. No added sugar, thank God. Rum is RUM - Not needing sweeteners.

Great and very quaffable Rockley 8 out of 10
