“A very special animal with its Port Ellen finish. Although I‘m not a huge fan of Islay Whiskies this combination works very well and makes a rounded and complex Rum/Whisky combo.”

“This is one of my favourite diamond releases and the price tag is definitely matching what you get. I other words a very good buy at release. The nose is fruity with caramel and maple as well as very light smoky wood. The palate is complex with fruit, smoky wood and spices and a light tobacco note. The finish is long with smoky wood, orange and nice spices.”

“Nah, guys, not my cup of tea at all. Only for whisky fans. I can also taste dry coffee, but the penetrating whisky note of the finish masks everything, especially in the aftertaste. Fortunately, there is a universe full of other rums.”
