Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:The nose is quite sweet with scents of vanilla, butterscotch toffee and maple syrup all rising into the breezes. After the aering, oak spice pushes through the toffee sweetness, other sweet scents of candied oranges and canned apricots noticed. Coconut as well as some ripe banana finally appear as well. The scents and smells are enticing, although I am wondering how the overt sweetness will play itself out when the rum is tasted.... 6,5:On the palate, rum enters the mouth with a little bite of heated alcohol and wood spice. There is also an overt maple sweetness which is initially quite tasty; but which soon seems out of step with the structure of the rum. Notes of peppery oak spice, maple, honey and apricot jam with a touch of sour pineapple.When an ice cube added-whatta sin😈, allowing the dram to cool, the rum seems to find new life. I can now sip the spirit quite easily, and the cloying nature of the sweetness has abated. I am actually increasing the score a little now that I have found a suitable way to enjoy it. 6,5:The finish is full bodied, due to added sweetness.Sweet butterscotch and maple combined with oak and oak spice tasted. Baking spice and cinnamon linger also honeyed sweetness. This rum looses its appeal if it is sipped neat more than one glass, but it is my wife 's favourite 🙂...

Absolut Top, süßer und langer Abgang, Aprikosen
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a rum for beginners. Far too sweet for me but on the other hand very fruity with spices and caramel.
Review by Sven Erbe
Nicht wie sonst andere unter dem Namen Elexir firmierende Rum. Süß aber nicht zu viel, viel Fruchtnoten dabei und Vanille, Kokos. Bin wirklich angetan, der Abgang fällt für den Geschmack fast zu kurz aus.
Review by heckto🥃
Dieser Rum ist so süss, dass er eher nach Zuckerlikör als nach Rum schmeckt. Karamell, Vanille und Kokos verleihen ihm trotzdem eine interessante Note. Für meinen Geschmack aber zu süß und eher zum Dessert oder für's Backen geeignet.
Review by Reto Schwab
sehr feiner, süsser Geschmack
Review by rum_sk
Lovely sweet alcoholic spirit, lots of vanilla and coconut on the palate as well as nose. It is very sweet so I recommend this as a digestive. Since I love coconut this one is the one for me as a dessert.

Review by Lukas Sedlacek
Rum vynika priznivym pomerem cena vykon. Hodnotim varku 018, ktera je jina nez je zvykem. Rum je celkove vic tmavy a pribyla chut kandovanych citrusu.
Review by Mike Speed
Poslední batch No. 018 má o něco tmavší barvu, než minulé, chuť tohoto rumů je možná díky tomu plnější a hravější. Nenašel jsem nikde, jestli se nějak změnila i receptura, ale nová hlubší chuť tohoto sladkého rumového elixíru ještě lepší, než v minulosti.
Review by DosenZorn
Also from the sample set. Slightly less artificial than Riise Rums, but still extremely overly sweet. Not my cup of tea.
