Penny Blue XO Batch 001

Very nice, smooth and tasty rum. Similar to cognac taste, I definitely recommend this rum.

The nose smells orange and some oriental spices.They disappeare on the tongue, where I have oak and dates. The oak lasts as a very smooth aftertaste. A bit too much burn of alcool, though. A pity!

perfectly balanced, honeyed, slightly sharper, lots of flavors, dry oaky after taste

A solid, tasty rum, with a touch of heat. Oak, toffee, a touch of spice. Nice!

I didn't enjoy it as a "mixer" as much as just sipping an excellent balance between smooth tasting and favorable.

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.

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+.

Although one of the best Mauritian rums I've tried until now I've given it an 8 because I think there is still room for refining. It's made in the oldest distillery on the island but this brand is fairly new.

It's dryer than the caribbean nephews, some will prefer it others not.

Von der kleinen Insel Mauritius, im indischen Ozean und nicht weit vom afrikanischen Kontinent entfernt, produziert. Ich hatte die Ehre diesen Rum in einem schönen Hotel direkt am Strand zu geniessen und es kann sein, dass die Umgebung und die Atmosphäre meine Bewertung positiv beeinflusst 😉.

Ein wunderbar weicher Rum, sehr komplex in seiner Struktur und fein im Abgang ist. Nicht zu süss und hinterlässt einen Hauch Aprikose im Gaumen.

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