Review by Thilo Stromberg
Leckerer Rum passend zu kräftigen Essen, auch nach einem Biertasting, oder einfach so für den Genuss. Nicht zu empfehlen wenn man vorher etwas süßes zu sich genommen hat, so etwas wie einen süßeren Rum.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Really bad at first taste. Got better and better. Better with Coke than without
Review by Tobin
Viel zu süß. Das einzig Interessante ist hier die Kombination aus totaler Milde und fast beißender Schärfe.
Review by Gdohh
Not really rum like, tasted pretty ok furthermore
Review by Johannes G
Relatively full-bodied rum, but not unpleasant. It is nevertheless too sweet. The taste is characterized by wood and vanilla with the aforementioned sweetness. Certainly not a very bad rum, but not particularly good either. I don't really know who I would recommend this rum to.

Edit: mich und die jungen Wilden hat er an der Elternparty dicht gemacht, zweck erfüllt, auf die Kopfschmerzen beim aufstehen So nochmal eine Flasche im Keller gefunden und nochmal probiert. Also ein Einhorn ist es definitiv nicht, aber wohl gut für eine Spende an die Jugend geeignet um sie ein wenig zu unterstützen. Damit verlässt ein weiter Rum/Ladenhüter meinen Keller, endlich 🤣
Review by Rumpalumpa
Quite interesting, but not really tasty. The notes of coffee and chocolate are particularly intense but overall the stuff is very sharp and is masked by a certain dustiness reminiscent of a cheap peated whisky.
Review by Skyfly
Ziemlich starker Holz-, Kaffee- und Schokoladengeschmack von Anfang bis Ende. Das Holz ist mir definitiv zu stark, als ob der Rum zu lange in einem unbelegten Fass war. Der Alkohol schmeckt schwach und alles wirkt ein wenig künstlich.
Review by Jonas Kofod
To me it suits for a Cuba Libre. For a better result, consider another rum.
Review by Leo Krüper
The color :D Pleasant sugar solera in terms of taste. But the color tops everything... Dark brown/black
Review by Filip Heimerle
Strasna kvalita...cukr z toho leze a vodova chut. Telo nulove
Review by JFehr
Rather flat and with a penetrating artificial sweetness
Review by Oliver
Extremely artificial sweetness. Apart from chocolate, not much comes across...
Review by Vinkes89
Ein Biss in eine Schokoladentafel! Zuckersüß! Diabetes lässt grüssen.
Review by Elijs Dima
Dried raisin juice and raisin "dirt". Like actually licking old raisins from a supermarket open box. Experimentally drinkable but not actually enjoyable. Just... completely weird. Gross. Avoid at all costs.
