Aroma visualization from community tastings
The Pearl of Mauritius
Opinions land all over the place here, but the theme is clear: this is a hazelnut-and-vanilla dessert bottle, very sweet, with a synthetic edge that puts some people off. Fans call it a fun nutty after-dinner pour; others taste flambéed banana and chocolate but find it artificially sweet. One member sums it up as an ideal dessert, another as disappointing for a rum.
The community says- Strong hazelnut note
- Sweet dessert style
- But: Tastes artificial

Review by Strassi 🇦🇹
Geschmack bestätigt was der Geruch befürchten ließ… sehr künstlicher Geschmack, sehr nach Haselnuss, sehr enttäuschend, überhaupt nicht was ich mir von einem Rum erwarte… Zuckergehalt lt. meiner Messung ca. 34 g/lit.
Review by Michal Flamik
Zaujímavý orieškový rum
Review by Michael Janek
6.3. 2025 Zverinova ve vůni naprosto přezrálý banány, který jsou oflambovany i se slupkou, sladka umělá vůně v chuti cítím banánek v čokoládě, strašně uměle sladký
