Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: Wood is very present. Roasted pineapples, baked apples, cinnamon, leather, petrol, smoke, grilled sardines, lemon peel and some medicinal notes.
Mouth: Nice thick texture and a bit astringent. The wood is very present as it is for the nose. Apples, pineapples, solvents, hay, cloves and vegetal notes. The mouth is a bit monolithic.
Finish: Mid-long and drying. There’s an unpleasant alcohol peak. Vanilla, smoke, canon powder, custard cream, brown sugar and blackcurrants.

I miss the Jamaica funkyness.

Score: 80

Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: Grains, melted chocolate, straw, hay, polished wood, smoke, brine, burnt fish, dark olives, vinegar and vegetal notes.
Mouth: The alcohol is too present. Wood, tannins, polish, grains, cider, caramelized apples, popcorn, not ripe enough pineapples, black olives, vanilla, white pepper and grilled fish.

Where are the fruits?

Score: 81

Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: It’s a bit monolithic and there’s too much alcohol presence again. Bananas, apples, cider vinegar, mix of green and black olives, wood, polish, brine and fish oil.
Mouth: Nice thick texture, a bit astringent. Olives dominates the mouth. Burnt wood, pineapples, brine, tannins, pepper and blood oranges but again the alcohol presence disturbs me.
Finish: Mid-long. Vanilla dominates the finish. Pastries, solvents, burnt wood, smoke and violet candies.

It’s more expressive and funky than the two first.

Score: 82

Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: The alcohol is burning. Some great candy notes which reminds me some Savanna Grand Ârome at first nose. Ripe bananas, fresh pineapples juice, papayas, green olives, cider vinegar, brine, fish oil with some smoke presence.
Mouth: Nice thick texture and a bit astringent again. Ripe pineapples, fruit candies, bananas, mangoes, oranges, candied lemons, petrol, burnt wood, black pepper, sardines, hay and some mineral notes.
Finish: Mid-long, warm and dry. Roasted pineapples, dark smoke, candied fruits, vanilla and cake dough.

At least we’re going in the good way…

Score: 83

Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: The alcohol burns a bit. Pickles, lemons, grapefruits, vinegar, caramelized pineapples, wood, blood oranges, black olives and leather. This is the most fruity nose of the whole line-up.
Mouth: One more time this is a nice thick texture. It’s more classy than the others. The rose blossoms dominates the mouth, violet flowers, fresh pineapple juice, bananas, Granny Smith apples, brine, vanilla and peppermint.
Finish: Long and drying. The vanilla is very present. Custard cream, butter, violet candies, thick smoke and some floral notes.

I enjoyed this one much more. The finish reminds me the Belgian LROK, I loved it.
