Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
08.11.2007 Had a 2 week trip around Vietnam to enjoy the local culture and food. We were staying very local so everything was extremely cheap. In order to get a proper rum we went to the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi hotel and bought a good size sample. Notes. Very dark in colour. Nose: Wood, roasted, caramel, berries, licorice, vegetal, light chocolate. Palate: Complex, oily, balanced, wood, roasted, dried fruit, cherry, licorice, chocolate, spices. Finish: Very long and oily, wood, roasted, spice, caramel, chocolate. 4.5 stars out of 5 which should amount to 9.0 today.
