Review by Timo Groeger
Ganz in Ordnung dieser Rum. Hat für mich eine angenehme, süsse Nase aus Vanille. Geschmacklich dann auch leicht süss in Richtung Vanille. Mir persönlich schmeckt er aber zu sehr nach Alkohol, welcher nicht so gut eingebunden ist.
Review by rum_sk
Very lovely nose, sweet full of candies (it reminds me of strawbery & cream lollipop. Fruity but also a bit faint. The strawbery and cream is also present on the palate with subtle sweetness full of fruity flavors coated in sweet chocolate. Overall very nice and interesting piece. Maybe i am weird I saw someone mentioning esters, tequilla, harsh fermented taste? None of that. Just pure sweet tones. I only wish the taste would be more powerful as it is quite diluted and soft. However the finish is surprisingly decently long.

Sample no.17 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Nose is all tequila/funk. Palate is herbal and vegetal with a lot of funk.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Blind there was a lot of Arrack on the palate immediatly. this mustyness of arrack is just rater classical. Arracks tend to have a certain harshness that just works for them. I rather enjoy it in this combo. Eventhough we have seen better from this blender.
