Review by Galli33
Unspectacular rum. Unfortunately no fruits, special taste nothing comes really trough. Generally to sweet for me. The alcohol isn‘t integrated well and is always very present. Due the sweet numbers of ABV and bottling age I expected a lot more…
Review by Johannes
Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden.
Review by Dr.Django
Ein unspektakulärer spanischer Rum. Süß, bitter, Vanille, Holz, Gewürze und Trockenfrüchten. Etwas wild, ungestüm mit schlecht eingebundenem Alkohol und einer Parfümnote, die ich eher aus dem Whiskybereich kenne.
Review by SaibotZtar
In der Nase kribbelt erstmal der Alkohol... dann kommt Karamell und etwas Schokolade. Etwas Cassis und Dürrpflaume .... Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol sehr brennend und nicht wirklich gut eingebunden. Schokolade und Karamell auch hier ... Frucht ist im Mund kaum etwas zu spüren... es dominieren schärfe , Holz und generell Bitternoten.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very sweet and artificial for a single cask
Review by Joël
Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden. Auch etwas süss im Geschmack was mir nicht so gefällt. Rau, wie andere schreiben, trifft es ziemlich gut.
Review by Oliver
Recht rauer Rum aus Panama.
