Review by Timo Groeger
Nr. 8 für heute, na ja, eigentlich wären wir jetzt auf dem Heimweg aus Witten :-(. Bitter. Dieser Rum ist überwiegend fruchtig, vor allem tropische Früchte sind erkennbar. In der Nase außerdem sehr alkoholisch.
Review by Stefan Pier
Ein spices Rum. Aber einer der Besseren. Ich trinke ihn gerne. Besonders gut macht er sich in fruchtigen Cocktails wie Pina Colada. Wer allerdings keinen Spiced Rum mag, sollte die Finger davon lassen.
Review by TheJackDrop
there's not much for me to say, it's not rum but a spiced flavored with kumquats. of course, the fruit is very present and takes up all the space, as do oranges and mandarins. But there's nothing else! it's light, watery, sweet, a bit meaningless. I'm really not a fan of spiced, either too sweet or completely ghostly! It's just right to get beginners started.

Für das, was es ist gehts klar. Leider nicht so mein Fall

15.10.2025 degustace asijiských rumu Naga v Pražském baru La Casa de la Havana Vieja za osobní účasti Sébastien Follopé Brutálně doplněné o spoustu věci, které do rumu nepatří. Ke cti se dá přičíst přiznané superdoslazení. Madarinek je tam kupa.
Review by Michael Janek
4.5.2023 voní po mandarinkách naložených v cukrové vodě, to bude asi ten kumquat chuť nejdřív jemná, hladká, nasládlá, po polknutí se rozvine strašně intenzivní sladkost a na konec se chuť zvýrazní nějakým kořením (vanilka, hřebíček, skořice? = Indonesian Spicies) je to brutus, víc skleniček se vůbec nedá vypít

Niet slecht, maar niet wat ik zoek in een rum. Sinaas & vanille
Review by Rado Vito
Very sweet rum, maybe elixir? I didn’t have a time to ask. Apricot is very intense and it could be great rum for cocktails, not for sipping.
