Okay.. No more. Not less

Odeur un peu acide mais fruité et plutôt doux en bouche . Un peu sucré , fait penser à de la liqueur de cerise
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Nice bottle, rum earns sufficiency, but is to be avoided for a tasting.

Very nice spices. Soft tone
Review by Portman
Leider nicht besonders hochwertig, wenig ausgewogen, flach, trocken und langweilig.
Review by zabo
Tried another experiment with mixing, but this one didn't really convince me either. In my opinion, it's not really convincing on its own. As I said, I mainly bought it as a mixer, but I'm probably a bit spoiled and can no longer pour everything into the CubaLibre.

Sans grand intérêt
Review by Alexis Lebas
Un nez fort en alcool avec un arrière de caramel. En bouche pareil que le nez trop le goût d'alcool. Très belle bouteille dommage que le contenant ne soit pas à l'image de la bouteille. Bon pour faire des cocktails.
Review by w00tAN
Süß und würzig ist das erste was mir einfällt, dann rostige Noten aber alles in allem etwas unrund und dreckig. Für das Geld gibt es viel ausgewogeneres Zeug.
Review by heckto🥃
A slightly balanced and medium-bodied rum. Sweet vanilla roasted aromas with a tangy finish. OK for mixing but too flat on its own. Even in this rather low price segment there are better ones.
Review by Tino Muroni
Verry smokey taste and finish. Almost like whiskey

Unas veces me ha encantado y otras no tanto. No sé si repetiría
Review by Zavo “Zavobier” Bier
Das Glas welches zum Rum dazugehört (Geschenkbox) ist schön, genauso wie die Flasche. Der Rum im Geruch, Geschmack und Nachgang extrem alkoholisch. Die würzige süße im Hintergrund macht ihn vielleicht zu einem guten Mix Rum, für würzig kräftige Longdrinks oder Cocktails. Zum puren Genuss aus meiner Sicht nicht geeignet. Kleiner Nachtrag: Ich habe jetzt den Rum für einen Cocktail Dark'n Stormy genutzt und ich kann nur sagen dafür perfekt.
Review by StormAK
Мне крайне не понравился этот ром. Как будто смешали с красным вином. Ужасно
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Maggi, mocha, spice, gasoline. Phew, the nose is independent but special. Unfortunately then quite strangely alcoholic, spicy sweetness, burnt raisin. I don't enjoy it, but it could be fun to shake in tikis. Addendum: No. Even the Bacardi Carta Negra is better. I don't know how this can stay on the market. Burnt, too sweet and fizzy at the same time.
