Caramel, vanilla and a distinct wine note from the Marsala cask are the first things you meet here — soft, round and noticeably sweet. Several tasters found it easy and pleasant, "rund und süffig," while others felt the good bones get buried under sugar and a slightly odd wine influence. An unusual Dominican with a very present finish.
The community says- Round and warm
- Present, lingering finish
- Keep in mind: Too sweet for many

Nothing special a little too much wine influence and too sweet...

Catch-up Rum Depot Tasting.
Review by Johannes
Actually good approaches in taste, but unfortunately I don't understand why they have to sweeten the rum so much...
Review by Andi
I would have expected something sweeter. I find him already really round and quaffable.
Review by Christoph
Untypical Dom. Rep. rum. The finish is very present.
Review by Richard Krupa
Less sweet than the others (tokaji, pinot noir and recioto), warm finish

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
What a sweet and unnecessary rum. All good qualities are drowned in a frenzy of caramelly sugar, vanilla and a weird note i assume is the marsala. Boy does no one should have a need for that. Really dissapointing...
