Poor alcohol integration so better use this one for a mixer.

From the smell sweeter than the taste. Tastes thinner than you would expect.
Review by LukaŽiga
7:On the nose, sauternes is felt immediately, the power of the beverage is expressed in the form of floral notes. There are aromas of ripe yellow fruits and sweet melon which give consistency and attenuate this ethereal aspect. The alcohol is still present but it is loaded with banana, like in an early wine, with hints of solvent. We continue in the world of wine, with very ripe and fermented white grapes. The caramel brings us back to the rum and consolidates the whole. Allowed to breathe, a few lemony splashes tickle the nostrils. The fruits are fresher, less stewed, with apple and pear spiced with ginger. Everything is quite delicate and balanced, with no aroma really prevailing over another. 7,5:The attack on the palate is very soft and even silky. The intensity of the alcohol that we had perceived on the nose has completely evaporated. The rum floats in a caramel and coffee syrup, with lightly roasted nuts. The sensation is decidedly soft, almost creamy, but it is a light, fluid cream. 7,3:The finish is logically very sweet, long too, with well-known markers of caramel and vanilla. A nice sipper....

Kein sehr guter Rum, gibt es weitaus bessere von Havana Club. Finde dieser Rum schmeckt sehr alkoholisch und ich finde ihn ziemlich hart, irgendwie schwer zu beschreiben, was ich meine. Keine Empfehlung von mir.

Der Rum ist für Einsteiger und Kenner gut geeignet. Der Rum ist auch ein guter Begleiter für Gerichte mit Rotkohl, kann auch gut zum Essen getrunken werden.

Typical soft and light ron
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
for me personally, especially for a Cuban much too sweet...
Review by Mc Pirate
Si de prime abord ce rhum semble classique avec quelques éthers au nez, son oxidation lui permet de glisser vers des choses bien plus complexes, fruits confits, figue et même fumé ! À boire donc lentement !
