A superb-looking decanter bottle of XO rum from Barbados, aged in bourbon barrels before being shipped to France for a secondary maturation in Cognac casks from the Ferrand house. The result is a well balanced rum with a remarkably long finish, with a palate of chocolate, banana, coconut and mango. Now this is some very good stuff.
Hints of spicy oak on the nose, with guava, a little desiccated coconut and dried banana. Buttery.
Spiced, creamy palate entry, with sweet vanilla notes and caramel. Oaky spices.
Caramel. Toasted oak.

The best rum i have ever tasted - and i have tasted a great number of rum's! Smooth and delicate, with perfectly balanced taste of vanilla, cocoa, honey and great fruits. The aftertaste is stunning, and i can only recommand everyone to try this amazing rum.
Remarkably smooth. Full of flavour and depth. My go to rum any day of the week.
Remarkably smooth and coconut, vanilla, caramel, and chocolate notes. It's absolutely amazing!
An insult to Barbadian rum. All the comments remarking how "smooth" it is. 24g/L of added sugar-syrup. Tastes like a cocktail with added sugar one person noted - yeah pretty much what it is. Sacharrin heavy, thin mouthfeel notes of cheap young alcohol beyond the sweetness. Cloying coconut flavour. Terrible, terrible rum.
Smooth good tasting rum. Not my all time favourite but it's a pleasure on the senses. A bombardment of flavours, slightly heavy on the caramel and coconut. Worth a chance.
