Velká dobrota, čokoládová, dřevitá až oříšková mňamka. Trochu sladší, chuť velmi výrazná, hřejivý konec.

Ohh proste chutovka 👍🏼🙏🏼pokud se sezene jeste nejaka dalsi flaska tak urcite beru do zasoby. ——————————————————- Prechutnano a musim podotknout ze to je proste super rum, zacatek pekne nasladla vune s orisky cokoladou karamelem , chut drevo, koreni, silne procenta alkoholu a paradne to zahreje, v ustech vam uplne vybuchne. Konec dlouhy hrejivy cokoladovo vanilkovy.

Thanks to my friend I had opportunity try this exclusive bottling for Rum CZ/SK group. I have to say right from the start that the rum smells wonderful, but it needs to chill for a while (otherwise you will get hit with strong, strong aroma). I noticed very nice sweet scents of vanilla, chocolate and caramel which is complemented by the aroma of spices and wood. Taste is very strong and heavy, from the start I noticed sweet flavors (chocolate, molasses), then comes wood and some spices. I really do like finish where I noticed vanilla flavor and nice warm feeling. Overall very good, but very strong rum, at least for me I would rather have this rum with lower ABV (just a little bit). It is worth to try? Absolutely YES!
