Review by Timo Groeger
Ich finde diesen Romer & Sond gar nicht so schlecht. In der Nase eigentlich überwiegend Gewürze, etwas Karamell ist auch erkennbar. Am Gaumen haben wir dann viel Holz und auch winterliche Gewürze wie Zimt sind erkennbar.

all right.
Review by Gregor
Also irgendwie ist dieses Jahr der Wurm drin beim Adventskalender von Kirsch Whisky. Auch dieser hier ist versammt langweilig und hat keine facetten. Schmeckt einfach nur süß ein wenig nach karamel und das wars. Zumal war er letztes mal auch schon im Kalender mit dabei....
Review by Rumpalumpa
Vielleicht liegt es an einer etwas verstopfen Nase heute, aber riechen kann ich fast nur Alkohol, ein paar winterliche Gewürze. Im Mund dann schon mehr, Bratapfel trifft es gut. Eine unschöne Bitterkeit bleibt am Gaumen.
Review by Christoph
Very sweet baked apple.
Review by Christian Rudt
Not really my taste. Above all, I have the feeling of soap in my mouth 😬 But well, now I've had a rum from Ecuador 😄
Review by Werni
It has a quite pleasant nose with citrus fruits and sweet cookie dough, unfortunately it cannot maintain the level on the palate. Spiciness and burnt wood dominate here, it remains quite long, but not of the pleasant kind. Not my cup of tea.
Review by Jonas
I've given him several chances, but it's not going to be love anymore. Boring and too alcoholic. Too bad. Ecuador, pot still and molasses/sugar cane juice are an exciting thing for me for now.
