Penny Blue XO Batch 001

Tried batch 2, expected very dry stuff, but is was more to my taste with the molasses flavor playing bigger part.

Smooth with with a lasting aftertaste. Easy drinking. Pleasant fresh aroma. Worth a trip to Mauritius to buy a bottle.

look/appearance is much lighter than most rims, very light, appears like scotch. Taste/finish is almost exactly like a highland scotch, malty, slightly Smokey without being peaty. Slight alcohol burn on the end. Honestly, would think this is a Scotch if tastes blind. I can’t rate this objectively as a rum, but 88+.

I’m sure it’s a really good rum, but it’s far too whiskey-esque for me. I prefer a sweeter, smoother rum than this one

I have held out on trying this stuff for years. Anyhow, I missed out, very good rum, well balanced and has a nice start to finish. Very surprised and now a fan.

Had the 001 Batch which was so so, but #002 was hotter and tastier.

Natural sweetness, it like Barbados's rum.
Very tasteful and has some transparent feeling, and also long aftertaste.

Nothing special...no complex and short aftertaste...I expect more.

I’ve been enjoying the bottle for years. Slight honey, caramel on the nose; slight citrus, pronounced vanilla across the palate; warm tones across the back of the throat; nice bottle!

Wow!! What a fantastic rum this is! 8+ definitely!
