Review by Gregor
Pleasant starter. Lots of dried plum and other dried fruits. Generally a very nice woody influence. Unfortunately a little too much sweetness for me. A very nice transitional rum to move from the totally sweet starters to the dry variants
Review by Korkennase🥃
The rum tastes good and is not too sweet. Recommended for beginners. Past well with cakes or pastries. Can be drunk very well pure.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very nice, round rum. I particularly like the grapefruit note. But overall much too sweet compared to the xo!
Review by Operrum
The color is amber. The aroma is vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, nuts, some dried fruits. The flavor is vanilla-chocolate, dried fruits are also present, the sweetness is balanced, the aftertaste is medium-long.
Review by Vincent D
Woody with coffee and caramel. Apple perhaps. On the palate, an immediate sensation of sweet dark chocolate. Not very flattering. Alcohol very present despite the reduction. I had a very negative opinion initially because it's too sweet for me, but in the end it's not so bad and can be enjoyed. Somewhere between rum and ron.

Lecker, nicht zu süß. Mal was anderes!
Review by Basti
I don't like it just because of the dilution. It tastes kind of rotten, although I actually like rum from the distillery.

10.09.2021 Sitting at home with some samples. Notes Medium dark to dark in colour. Nose Light, faint wood, fruits, coconut, caramel, sweet, faint chocolate. Palate Light, sweet, fruits, dried fruit, herbs, light caramel, light chocolate, faint wood, nutmeg. Finish Short, faint wood, pear, spice, raisin, faint chocolate.

Not my cup of Tea. To sweet, to simple
Review by rum_sk
Retaste: Heavy on wood/roasted/burnt notes but less on a fruit. Otherwise I agree completely with the rest. I am not a fan of the aroma. It's not bad do not get me wrong but it's similar Guyanese rums such as pussers. Heavy on a cocoa, burnt sugar, dark chocolate, vanilla and raisins. Very specific. Taste is much better for me. Pussers taste almost the same as the nose, here it is different carrying all major tones from the nose such as cocoa, dark chocolate, brown sugar, nougat and vanilla with noticable sweetness but it adds a little bit of peppery spiciness to sprinkle it up a little. At very far distance I can notice the cola flavor but very very distantly but this is what differentiates this rum from Guyanese one. Finish is medium to long one. Very good rum minus the nosing.
Review by RCR 🇫🇷
Ill-balanced rum. The whole is a mess. The taste lacks harmony. And, frankly, it stinks.

Well hidden alcohol, sweet, good oily body
Review by Richard Krupa
Vune pekna. V hcuti moc ruzneho ovoce, coz mi nejde dohromady a celkovy dojem mi to zkazilo
Review by Ondra RumRunner
Chutny rum s nasládlým až sladkým profilem. Ve vůni jde cítit karamel, tropické ovoce 🍋🟩, ananas a vanilka. V chuti jsou výrazná jablka, vanilka a celkově ovocná chuť.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"Not really something that I found fancy. It is very south American in profile with a lot of cocoa. The nose has some complexities of tobacco and paint, but all of that is gone on the tongue. Finishes a bit bitter"
