Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I can't believe I was able to taste such a part of history. Light and fruity 😊 Thank to whoever brought it 👍
Review by Holle525
Either I had a really bad sample or the rum is really only average at best. To be completely honest, I would give it a maximum of 60 points, but as it is a piece of rum history, I give it 75 points. This is a rather one-dimensional rum that is also heavily sweetened. Don't hold it against me, but it's nothing for me.
Review by Oliver
Incredible to experience such a rum - thank you Steffen! More history in the glass is hardly possible.
Review by Johannes
A piece of history! Many thanks to Steffen, who made it possible to taste the rum!
Review by moglü
A true piece of history. A special moment to taste such an old rum. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Holle525's comment.
