Review by Timo Groeger
Addendum from yesterday's bottle kill. It didn't quite convince me. We have dried fruits and port wine on the nose and palate. But I find the alcohol isn't really well integrated.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Relatively good and complex rum in taste
Review by Alexander Martin
For me personally, an absolute bad buy. Alcohol integration is almost non-existent and towards the end there's a bitterness that I find unpleasant. Okay for mixing with Dr Pepper Cherry but less suitable for pure enjoyment. I love cask strength and it can be a bit rougher, but this one is not drinkable for me. Don't waste 60 euros and buy something better.
Review by Nika
Sorry but not impressed. Esters are nice, taste was round but I would not go for it again, since I like wilder stuff
Review by Anonymous
Not fond of the nose (similar to 10), but palate is pleasant
