Review by Stefan Persson
A great Rhum that’s very smooth and elegant on the palate and during the finish. The only negative is that the nose is a little weak. The nose is spicy and woody with aromas of sugarcane. At the palate and during the rather long finish it’s also spicy and woody but also floral, complex and very smooth with flavors of dried fruit.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a really nice and very complex rum and I'm happy having it on my shelf. The nose is sweet (honey) and a bit alcoholic with spices and orange topped with cocoa/chocolate and wood. The palate is well balanced and complex, fruity with spices and oak. There is a slight floral not there as well. The finish is long and fruity with vanilla and oak.
Review by Sascha Heuer
Wahnsinnig komplexer Rum, der mich ein bisschen an Whisky erinnert. Nichts für den Alltag.
Review by Oliver
Sehr lecker! Ich mag das schwere und röstige Profil sehr. Die Trinkstärke steht ihm gut.
Review by RCR 🇫🇷
Bon produit. Saveur boisée et épicée . Le tout est légèrement iodée.
Review by N’ours
Dommage manque quelques degrés pour une superbe longueur.
