Jamaica 1977 Long Pond Ping No 9 35-year

So much flavour Very very intersting, only tasted a 5 cl sample, so many flavours. And a GREAT nose. However the alcohol was a bit too forward to my liking.

Smukrom 2015 Solera 23-year

Ron Zacapa 2013 Reserva Limitada

Unlike Zacapa Good stuff! Has that extra kick to it that the mass produced Zacapas are lacking. Well balanced and warm, yet just enough sweetness to make it work.

El Dorado 21-year

Very good! Much better than ED12 Im not a fan of ED12, so I didn't have much expectations for this. But I was positively surprised! The nose is brilliant, lot of spices and licorice.

Dictador XO Insolent

Overly sweet Nothing to do with rum, overly sweet and synthetic. Works in drinks on a rare occation, but thats it. Nothing else. Wouldn't call it rum!
