Review by Eric Frechin
Si je l avais goûté à l aveugle, je n aurais peut-être pas dit que c était du rhum , tellement l amaretto prends le dessus, surtout au nez.En bouche texture sirupeuse, l attaque est sur l amande légèrement épicée. Un peu de cerise. Puis évolution vers vers le caramel/toffee. Au prix proposé ça peut faire un bon petit digestif après un repas convivial. Ce n est pas quelque chose de plat .
Review by Michal Jurka
Sweet and strong influence of Amaretto.
Review by Johannes
Nice experiment, but the amaretto finish clearly dominates - you can't recognize much of the base. Too intrusive for me, but as I said a fun experiment.
Review by Martin Ekrt
I can really smell the Amaretto in there. A nice memory of ice cream with just this enhancement. Unfortunately, I find the rum base to be a total dud, so Plantation decided to throw a boring, barely average rum on top of the Amaretto finish. An experiment all right, but I certainly wouldn't want to have a whole bottle of it.
Review by Happy Oner
Too sweet too spiced
