Nose. Very muted nose. Most dominant note is a distinct maltiness, faint red fruit sherry notes and even fainter vanilla. Palate. Mouthfeel is thin. Flavor notes are very much like the nose. Good maltiness, red fruit, a little vanilla. Everything is very muted and the finish is quite short. Nothing objectionable here, just everything is very muted, thin and unimpressive. You could spend less money on something better.

I’m a scotch, bourbon and mezcal guy so this was me dabbling in sipping rum…… Nose. Herbal with tabacco leaf, leather and a hunt of molasses. Palate. Suprisingly oily mouthfeel. Herbal and much less sweet than I was expecting. No burn but the alcohol is very noticeable on the palate. Finish is fairly short and is mainly the alcohol with a touch of leather and herbal notes. This has not made me want to explore rum further……I think I’ll stick to scotch, bourbon and mezcal.

Reviewed May 25, 2023 (edited December 24, 2023)This is the sherried scotch of choice. If you are looking for that old style deep rich dark fruit sherry character with some basement funk in the background, this is it. Nose and palate are consistent and full of dates, figs, raisens, plums, prunes, tabacco and an almost indescribable backbone of warehouse/basement funk that gives it much more depth than a current Glendronach 15 or Arran Sherry that come off much more bright.
