8.6/10

Nosing is about sweet caramel and vanilla, Taste is very smooth and the alcohol is just in the background. I can feel tones of wood and spices. But from my personal point of view it’s worth trying only if you are the same age as the rum. My wife thought that it’s some cheap rum for some low price..

8.0/10

The nose is welcoming with molasses, caramel, leather and slight cocoa/coffee. The palate is light and silky, with hints of caramel and barrel, in the finish coffee and some spice. Very light finish however extremely rounded. Pleasant. In the empty glass molasses, cocoa and coffee

Nic extra. Slabší cukrový nápoj, ve kterém se dají najít tóny karamelu, vanilky, dřeva a možná i oříšků. Ale budete muset hledat.
