Review by primus
Kräftiger, junger Single Cask Rum aus amerikanischer Weißeiche. In der Nase Vanille, Karamell, Holz und leichte Frucht. Am Gaumen intensiv, würzig und trocken, mit präsenter Eiche und etwas Schärfe vom hohen Alkoholgehalt. Einfach nur geil, da kannste Dich echt reinlegen. Leider viel zu kurzer Abgang. Hätte gerne länger was davon!
Review by Martin Augustin
An alternative for lovers of rum from Barbados.alcohol could be better integrated, but can be sippen easy. Reminds me a bit of children's bars and creamy dessert with its vanilla and chocolate notes.An honest, although not exciting rum.
Review by Martin Spooner
Cremiger, Nougat Vanilliger Tropfen. Süffig aber auch leicht spritzig.
Review by Stijn Zino
Easy to drink but not exciting. Reminds me of Zacapa. Just chocolate and cookies.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/02/25: Tasted @ Stijn's place. Easy American sipping rum with typical notes like vanilla, chocolate and cookies. I wish the alcohol was integrated a little bit better. Nothing remarkable or spectacular.
Review by chu guevara
Des l'ouverture du sample, alcool vraiment trop présent. Par la suite, le nez devient vraiment torréfié, limite pâtissier, mais après une bonne heure dans le verre, l'alcool revient, il m'a fait pensé au flor de caña 12 ans 😒 Sinon pour le reste dans le même registre. On sent qu'il y a de la qualité, mais il manque quelque chose, ou quelque chose en trop...? Apparement mélasse de première qualité et fur neuf bien bousiné
