Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02.10.2016 - 03.10.2016 A great extended weekend with rum friends. This was a nice event and lots of space between the tables. Only problem was the level of English at some of the exhibitors. Here are the rums we tasted at the event itself, nothing truly unique but we had fun. This is the first half of the tastings. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, caramel, banana, light dried fruit, faint chocolate. Palate Light, light wood, faint smoke, caramel, light chocolate, raisins, lightly spicy. Finish Medium long, wood, light chocolate, light caramel, raisin, light chocolate.
