Review by Matej
I have to be honest. With this rum, I only decided whether I liked it or not. And this rum is great (I'm happy for the whole bottle). Love the combination of technical and chocolate flavors. If you have chance to try it... just do so.

Velmi solidní rum s tropickým ovocem a estery, vše pěkně ladí. Pokud máte možnost, ochutnejte.

Great! One of my Jamaican top 5 !
Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni se dá tušit, že nás čeká příjemná technicko-ovocná jamajka. Toto se na plno projevuje v chuti, kdy ovocné janlečné tóny střídají ty technicky lepidlové. Závěr je dlouhý, hřejivý, a možná až moc alkoholový.
Review by Rado Vito
Beautiful aroma. Taste is fine, the rum is easily drinkable with fruit aroma and dry long aftertaste.
Review by Richard Krupa
For me the best of white ocean, spices, oranges
