Review by TheJackDrop
Ce n’est pas une mauvaise découverte car je ne connaissais pas du tout, et j’ai eu la chance de gagner la fiole dans un concours. C’est doux et équilibré, mais il manque vraiment de profondeur, d’intensité. La finale est assez courte.
Review by Artur Wahl
Mild, angenehm, Karamell und Vanille. Wenig Tiefe. Kurzer Nachgeschmack.
Review by Mathieu Visiere
Un rhum doux et bien équilibré avec une finale assez courte. Goût un peu grillé qui vire sur le sucré caramélisé. Manque de complexité et de longueur pour qu'il passe la barre des 7.
Review by Vincent D
Un spiced très doux. Du caramel et de la vanille. Moins désagréable que plusieurs spiced bourrés de cannelle et de sucre. Ça reste, comme souvent, une préparation industrielle trop sucrée faite pour des palais novices.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Flavors of tropical fruit, brown sugar and soft tannins - long lasting and soft finish
