Review by Michael Janek
25.2.2025 Casa Havana Praha ve vůni cítím trochu něco jako citrusy nebo trávu- třtinový list, trávu zabalenou v sáčku v chuti jemný, jemnounce nakoureny, mirnounce nasladly, šmrncnuté čokoládou, orisky, velmi příjemný
Review by Rodolphe
Un rhum un peu monolithique et pas très complexe... Caramel, café et un peu épicé. L'alcool est étonnement présent malgré les 38%. Il est tres court en bouche. Bref, un rhum qui ne restera pas dans les annales.
