Review by Apollo
Very smooth and delicate, tropical fruits, a hint of cinnamon and some caramelized sugar. The only thing I would wish for is a longer finish, other than that it is a really good rum.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Eigentlich ganz lecker. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Genau mein Geschmack
Review by Michael Schillheim
After a long time again an entry-level classic in the glass. As a starter, I found in very good and extremely pleasing. The sugar ironed everything smooth at the time. Meanwhile, it is less sweet. Instead, an unpleasant alcoholic note. Unspectacular on the nose, unspectacular on the palate, short finish. Still a spectacular bottle. Conclusion, poorly integrated alcohol, very thin and short-lived flavors. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it to any beginner.
Review by Steve the Barman
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by DosenZorn
Sweetened entry-level rum. Very sweet, very much vanilla, very much coconut, very artificial and somewhat thin from the consistency. Complexity you look there in vain, of course. Interesting flavors and a long finish as well. Among its sugary competitors, he still cuts off quite okay. Was also for me an entry into the world of interesting rums, but now quite boring. But for visit who have not yet much to do with rum the right drink.
Review by Kelvin Peeters
Very nice rum, first plantation rum i have tasted en really trilled about it. Sweet en long tasting with notes of pineapple and coconut. Really tropical but still very complex
Review by Dim Itri
The nose is very discreet, linear with light cocoa notes. In the mouth it is soft, smooth and a little too sweet for my taste (without being in the liquorice). It lacks cruelly of complexity, of body too! On the palate we find the light cocoa of the nose associated with pastry notes. In conclusion, I would say that this is a rum that can be drunk without having to intellectualize it, perfect for young palates or discovery evenings for novice friends. I also find that for an equivalent price, there is largely better on the market.
Review by Werner10
A great rum for what it costs. I love the finish, a bit sweet, chocolate, vanille and some roasted flavors.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Delicious and a lot of tropical fruit. Vanilla is coming through in this one and it sticks for a while. A super rum to sit and sip with your friends. A very good beginners rum in my mind,
Review by Manco
Very good finish, coconut, vanilla that leaves a very good taste in the mouth, really makes you want to return
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a too sweet and a too dominant coconut aroma and taste in my opinion. Kept it in my Rum bar just because my wife liked it, but nowadays she has left the over sweetened rums for more pure rum just like me.
Review by Galli33
Very lovely sweet(ened) rum! Pleasant to drink with a great range of smells and tastes of the Caribic. Big minus for the added sugar… Great rum for beginners!
Review by cigares
Un bon rhum pour le prix. Mais pour mon goût, trop de sucre ajouté pour sentir clairement les différentes saveurs. Tout en rondeur. Mais les arômes sont comme masqués. Un rhum de débutant ou pour s’initier.
Review by Bastien Champain
bon, sucré, on sent bien la noix de coco 15,5/20
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
I expected more. In the end, an average rum.
