The fruit is quite intense but balanced. This is the 2015, I'm going to search for the 2016 because I read it was much better. That'll be my wife's birthday wine. i remember the early opus one releases (sadly, that old). they were pretty interesting and exciting. i'm not that up with napa vintages so i can't help you but if you are serious, i have a friend who is a maker there - his father was involved with some of the wines which won the famous tasting in paris. i could chase him and ask if you want.

Well, I just got the 2016, now I have to hide it from the wife! I don't want to go older, they go up $25.00-$50.00 every year.... I cant locate the 2017. So that would be great!

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk That was 2015. First time I tried it. Had a Cohiba Esplendido. went well together, but I preferred the 23yo scotch...

lovethehaze Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Today's pick up. 8 yr bottle, hard to pass up. Age statements are harder to come by these dsys. It’s funny you are chasing age and I am chasing freshness and youth. Cheers and enjoy !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

If they can crank out some 7+, it will be really htf and tasty I would imagine.

BD, not familiar with smith and cross but am a fan of flor de cana. love the 18 (and younger versions) but especially the 25. and the 30 though incredibly rare and you need to pay silly money. i reckon, if avoiding additions, foursquare is one you must try. there are heaps of rum threads. you'll find lots to enjoy among them. in the end, it will be largely down to what you can find in your region, at least for starters. also worth posting those you enjoy. it will help others to make suggestions for similar rums.
