In theory… Colour: white wine. Nose: and in practice, this is brilliant rum. Once again there is a softer esterness, some soot, some plastic, some ink, plasticine, olives, brake paddles, hay, new book, sandalwood, potpourri, camphor, and hashish. Seriously, a little hashish. Mouth: ooh! Smoked sardines, black olives, paraffin, tarry liquorice, salt. Aren’t shorter tasting notes all the rage this year? Finish: long and just perfect. Perhaps a notch sweeter, as if some spirit hacker would have added a few drops of pineapple juice. But who would do that? Seriously, this is nothing, this is fabulous rum. Violet sweets in the aftertaste - love that too. Comments: absolutely exceptional. Well done,

whiskyfun:
Not much could go wrong here I suspect… Colour: gold. Nose: this typically beautiful and deep concentration of embrocations, bandages and seawater. All shades of olive, brine cut with olive oil, sardines and old oily bicycle chains sprayed with WD40. Beyond that there’s also some fresh citrus fruit, chopped parsley, air freshener and something like Midori melon liqueur. But really it is the coastal and medical combinations that really stand out proudest here. Mouth: a funny but rather fabulous mix of kippers, brine and brown bread studded with olives and rosemary. I love how you get some very pronounced flavour combinations in the best rums. More bandages, plasters, ointments and rock pool water. Finish: long, medical, lemony, slightly earthy and with a very light medical sweetness then a rich and bready aftertaste. Comments: excellent, we’re extremely close to the 90 mark here.
