“Blind tasting tonight. The nose is great. A big salad of exotic fruits in the foreground. A little almond powder behind, some dried fruit, a hint of rubber. A nose that makes you want to drink it, really! I really like it. On the palate, the woodiness is more noticeable, as are certain aromas such as candied prunes. A little less fruity. A wonderful discovery, I found it really very good, but I didn't guess at all, I thought it was a Jamaican-dominated navy blend.”

“Part 2/8 of our 1986 Rockley tasting: distinctly more medicinal, less fruity, not as round as the Madeira finish, but more honey and honeycomb & much more intense and slightly more alcoholic. Sherry influence is there but not too much. The intense thyme-honey note on the finish is exciting!❤️🤤🍯”

“Great nose, you can literally smell the age. But what is that on the palate? Thin rose water? No, I can't do anything with that for the life of me. I'm really sorry, but I also find this Rockley banal on the palate. If it weren't for the smell, which makes you want more, the rum would even get 5 points less from me.”
