Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Bu net, il apporte des arômes de mirabelle, de prune qui rappellent des eaux de vie de l’Est de la France. Délicieux sur un sorbet au citron. Shaké en Daiquiri, l’aération va révéler les arômes de pur jus de canne à sucre avec beaucoup de fraîcheur. Un excellent produit. Très impatient de voir le résultat des litres qui ont été mis en vieillissement dans les chais de la Compagnie des Indes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely horny overproof Ghana. Benchmark for me even... Could pass for me blindly as a cherry or mirabelle plum brandy. Nice marzipan/maraschino note and extremely mild! And dangerously tasty in the daiquiri
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
My first thought, is the rum or kirsch. For a white nevertheless really good. Positively surprised.

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Pretty intense smell. Good! Very fruity cherry/almond schnapps. A lot better than the Vietnam I just tasted. All the plums. Nicely balanced. I'm getting into this Ghana stuff.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Wow, this is a very well rounded white. Easy to drink and probably super good in a mixer. Very fruity and especially the cherry is easy to pick up. Love the marzipan in the profile.
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good and fruity Ghanaian, which is actually reminiscent of a very round fruit brandy.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
In der Nase gelber Steinfruchtbrand mit Anklängen von Vogelbeere (-> Marzipan). Dazu frisch, grasig, zitrisch. Im Mund dann wie ein Best Of österreichischer Obstbrände. Mirabelle, Vogelbeere, etwas Süße und Zitrus. Einerseits der zugänglichste der Drei, andererseits auch der brandigste und wärmste im Alkohol.
Review by Alex Kunath
Exciting nose that can not quite keep up on the palate.
Review by Oliver
Great white rum! Reminds in a positive sense after fruit brandy - especially kirsch.
Review by Émile Shevek
On the nose some fermented melon and papaya with sour notes, some ester and a little garlic, but also sweet hints of red fruits and aquavit. On the soft and enveloping palate, unlike the nose it has no sour notes but sweet notes of black cherry and maraschino cherries, only in the finish some mild pepper and little ester. Overall, however, it lacks depth, although it remains pleasant drinking. Certainly in some tiki cocktails it makes a nice impression. In the empty glass light esters
Review by NoMorePants
First smell was really punchy. Full of ripe tropical fruits. Almost exactly like planters punch mix from leclerc.

"Very fruity, reminiscent of a cherry brandy. I like the nose even better than the taste. A few more percent would have stood him well."
