The Sins Avarice by Robert Bauer
Top review from zabo:
"Edit: now tasted again from the fresh bottle. Simply brilliant. Tasted with great calm and time. For me, it's one of the best I've ever had in a glass. If nothing better comes along in the near future, I'll give it another better rating. Tasted together with Chris2302 some time ago. Many thanks to the donor at the time who made this possible for both of us 😀 (a little tip: it was on the 2nd GAF, so it's not difficult to find the donor 😉 ) I thought the smell was bomb. After the first sip, we agreed that this is a drop that will easily break the 9! Anyone who has the opportunity to try it. Do not hesitate! Insane part!!! Drink of the gods!"

Top review from Oliver:
"Incredibly complex and intense nose - to fall in love! First association was Hampden. Boiled down, tropical fruit, peach and pleasant esters - not too funky. The 38 years in the barrel rounded it out to perfection. Wow, a real explosion on the palate, this is also where the Long Pond character comes out. Perfectly balanced yet complex. Very pleasant bitterness. In the finish, some smoke is added.Outstanding! Absolutely exceptional Jamaican."
Floral Rum Series Victoria Amazonica (Catawiki) REV
Top review from Jakob:
"The REVs actually continue to gain with increasing age. Compared to other releases a little less intense on the characteristic dried plum aroma, but with much more aromatic complexity by very present, but not exuberant wood influence, a slight floral impact and gallant spicy notes, which put the heavy sweetness a very appealing counterpart. Excellent release."
Greenheart REV
Top review from DomM:
"Excellent stuff - top notch bottling of the 94 REVs vintage imho. Delivers on dark, woody, herbal and fruity notes on the nose as well as on the palate. My only critic here is the relatively low proof, which manifests in a bit less power on the palate versus other bottlings."
Greenheart MEV
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Very pretty nose, typical of Versailles. Big herbaceous notes of thyme and tea fill the nostrils with freshness, followed by notes of pencil shavings and resinous sap. The oak is discreet, while the spices show the tip of their nose with anise, licorice, pepper and smokier notes of incense. Citrus zest and prunes make way for medicinal notes ranging from beeswax to polish. A remarkably deep and complex nose. The attack on the palate is very pleasant. The oily, refined character blends well with the depth and complexity of the aromas. Flavors of aromatic herbs, tea, pencil shavings and tobacco appear on a more earthy, vegetal bent, followed by a profusion of spices ranging from licorice, anise, cloves, pepper and vanilla. Toasty oak goes hand in hand with leather, which lends a bit of bitterness with the herbs. Molasses, honey and caramel add a little sweetness to this subtle but very complex profile. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is rather delicate and refined, but lingers on the palate with herbaceous notes (thyme, tea), dried fruit (grape, apricot), pencil and tobacco notes, oak and caramelized notes leading to molasses. The spices are relatively mild, but tantalize the palate with rather seductive touches of honey, toast and salt. A superb antique Enmore, of which there must be very few left on earth."
The Golden Age of Piracy Woodes Rogers
Top review from Jakob:
"If you expect a classic NY profile with lots of fruit esters, you'll be surprised - there's far less fruit bomb here than extremely tasty salted caramel candy. A decidedly elegant potpourri of caramel sweetness, fine minerality, vanilla, oak and subtle cocoa bitterness. In addition, tropical fruit notes, which at no time play in the foreground, but deliver an extremely entertaining play of flavors in addition to the aforementioned protagonists. Great release and a highlight among the 1994 New Yarmouths."
The Golden Age of Piracy Edward Teach Blackbeard
Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted in a bar. Superb nose of mechanical workshop and fresh pineapple. You immediately feel transported to a motorcycle repair shop, with the sun beating down and the tires heating up. You can feel the alcohol on the palate, and then the aromas take over. A certain acidity makes the palate very fresh. Like an acidic but very tasty passion fruit. Vanilla and wood, thick fat. The finish is extremely long, with tropical fruit and machine shop. A fine representative of the '99 vintage. The marked acidity on the palate loses it a few points, but it's still an exceptional rum that makes you want to have more. The empty glass is splendid!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"When buying Distilia releases you know that you will spend more than average on your bottle. This one was not disappointing. The nose promises more than the palate can deliver, though the overall impression is still good. 32 year in a barrel has a tendency to leave heavy wood notes and some bitterness and that's what you'll find here. Heavy yet well balanced notes. Be aware that the wood is taking first row 😊 The empty glass reveals even clearer notes."

Top review from Jakob:
"Great continental Enmore. Heavy fruit, crisp wood, spice and subtle sweetness form a flavor profile that is absolutely thrilling, even in direct comparison with other Enmores from 1992. Great selection."
Greenheart MPM
Top review from Thunderbird:
"The second Uitvlugt this evening. And this one is very elegant. A very sweet, fruity and spicy nose. On the palate, a subtle woody spicy nose at first, which later changes to fruity. A very pleasant mango aroma and perfectly integrated alcohol..and a lovely long dark finish. The perfect companion in the evening"
The Golden Age of Piracy Samuel Bellamy
Top review from Jakob:
"Relatively relaxed PM profile with spices and dry fruits and nicely balanced green notes. The palate reveals a flavorful complexity of wood, dried fruit, tea, cinnamon, chocolate and subtle pastry notes. The result is an elegant balance between tart wood influences and green spice notes, the delicate sweetness of the dried fruit and pastry notes, and elegant toastiness in the finish. Successful barrel selection!"
Greenheart Versailles MEV
Top review from Jakob:
"Very round profile with the typical Versailles pencil notes. In addition to these somewhat metallic-mineral wood notes, nice hints of tea, subtle sweetness, anise, licorice and yellow fruits. The alcohol is impressively well integrated - the profile is almost easy sipping at this alcohol strength, meaning very balanced, yet aromatically complex at the same time. Excellent barrel selection!"

Top review from Thunderbird:
"GRF13: I was able to enjoy this drop twice in the glass... from my point of view, this is one of the best continental Caronis I've been able to taste so far. Surprisingly, in addition to the expected dirty aromas, dark fruits are also clearly perceptible. The alcohol is very well integrated. Warm, creamy and soft, it spreads across the palate and unfolds its play of aromas... this continues in a long finish... Top barrel selection"
The Golden Age of Piracy Calico Jack Distilia
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Cracked open the next 3 from the batch I got from my wife. This is a really nice and warming Foursquare. Fruity with spices and nice wood. Price to quality is OK at release but they popped up ppm auction pretty fast."

Top review from zabo:
"Very good Diamond, has everything you can expect from such a beer. I find it very accessible and delicious, almost too drinkable. Distilia has once again done everything right with this bottling and the price is also reasonable. But it's still not enough for the top group."
The Golden Age of Piracy Captain Benjamin Hornigold
Top review from Jakob:
"Great nose with lots of caramel, vanilla sweetness, oak wood, some coffee, dried fruit...the rum is extremely helped by a slightly longer time in the glass, a very pleasant aroma spectrum opens up on the palate with increasing oxidation. Caramel and vanilla provide a pleasant sweetness, along with woody notes, a pleasant spiciness and dried fruit again. Slightly fresher and spicier than the other Diamond releases of the vintage, compared to the tropically aged releases with less opulent aromas from the oak barrel. The DNA of the '96 Diamonds is recognizable, with a more delicate character than many of its sister releases from the recent past. I needed some time to get to grips with the rum, but in direct comparison with other recent 1996 Diamond releases in particular, I recognize some exciting and, in a positive sense, independent notes in this bottling."

Top review from Serge:
"Old PM with a nice nose of lots of dried fruit, plum, wood and tobacco. On the palate - as already described in another review - a somewhat disturbing, smoky note. I don't know whether it reminds me of whisky because I read it or because it really tastes like it. But it is indeed a bit annoying if you don't like whisky. In any case, a little standing time is very good for it. Nevertheless, all in all still very tasty for me."
The Golden Age of Piracy Bartholomew Roberts Black Bart
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Tasty but doesn't knock my socks off. Surprisingly round for 31y but hardly complex. The overall impression is more Spanish, like an old angostura, but there is virtually nothing of the typical mint and fruit and dirty caroni notes of tdl."
