Nice, easy drinking rum. Wooden and vanilla taste notes. But lack of depth in taste.

6.2/10

Cítit je hlavně po karamelu a vanilce se sušenými datlemi. Chuť: Sladkost vyšší, ale ještě snesitelná. Převážně karamel s trochou sušeného ovoce a vanilky. Škoda divného závěru, kde ruší jakási karamelová hořkost. Darovanému koni na zuby nekoukej🙈
