Ich mag die helle Farbe trotz des Alters, fruchtig mit rauchigem Holz und Gewürzen sowie einer leichten Kräuternote, den warmen Geschmack und die Kokosnuss im Hintergrund, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist sehr gut.

Überraschend gut. Nicht unangenehm, aber die Rauch- und Kautschuknoten sind mir etwas zu präsent. Es würde eine kleine fruchtige Seite fehlen, um ihn in einen Super-Rum zu verwandeln.

The dark forest honey on the nose, a little smoke - not quite as powerful as the TRC WIRD 12yo - and a hint of vanilla are classic for the 2000 Rockleys. Not quite as spectacular a nose as my two comparison candidates (TRC 12yo 61.6% and DT 15yo 52%). Addendum: after 20 minutes standing time, the rum opens up considerably and becomes more bitter, herbal and much more interesting :). On the palate, the same game as on the nose: the rum definitely needs at least 15-20 minutes until it is fully there. Vanilla, pepper, honey, cloves and a well-integrated 54% then await you. The rum has a slight tannininess that I don't know from any Rockley - not disturbing but surprising at first sip. In the finish, the light smoke from the nose comes to the fore again and of course the medicinal and herbal notes. A solid, good 2000 Rockley, which for me plays in the 2000 Rockley midfield! 83 points
