"Harmonious aromatic interplay. Very nice to drink neat. Alcohol well integrated. Barbados rum, as it should be!"

"Very strong, full Rhum Agricole with great oak spice and oriental spices."

"Vom Anfang bis zum aromatischen Abgang ein sehr schöner Rum, der mich besonders mit seinen großartigen holzigen und würzigen Noten überzeugt. Zusammen mit einem sehr schön ausbalancierten …"

"Beautiful facets of a still quite young Rhum Agricole, which has fine oak aromas, but is also surprisingly fruity and sweet."

"Both on the nose and on the palate, it presents itself undiluted as extremely intense, concentrated, and full of character. The port finish is excellently done and expands the strong Guyana style with …"

"A real easy sipper, which especially shows its strengths in taste. I liked it best there, showing the typical flavor profile I know and appreciate from Venezuelan rums. In the smell, it loses points …"

"The aromas can be very well broken down. A good introduction to the rum world of Jamaica. Certainly less suitable for already experienced rum drinkers and Jamaica lovers. They probably call it too …"

"Already clearly resembles its older brother, the 15y. A pleasant rum with a strong vanilla and caramel note. Despite being sweetened, the sweetness is not extremely noticeable. I like that. The …"

"Very suitable for fans of sweet dessert spirits. Those who appreciate unsweetened rums should not go for this. The macerates of hazelnut and vanilla are in the foreground."
