Review by Business Liner Ralf
toller Rum; komplex und vielschichtig; finde den Rum hier unterbewertet; verdient ein sehr 👍
Review by François Delmotte
Agréablement surpris pour un rhum de mélasse. Le fût, bois est présent. Note de caramel, vanille et fruits sec. Un peu trop sucré.
Review by Dunzi
Ich bin mittlerweile im Besitz von ca. 30 verschiedenen Rums, dieser ist für mich sehr interessant und außergewöhnlich. Intensiv, aber nicht zu süß, auch holzig und rauchig, nicht zu scharf. Ein guter Rum zu einem sehr günstigen Preis.

Kaugummi in Nase und am Gaumen. Hinten raus leicht rauchiger Whisky-Touch
Review by JonasTh
Erg lekker. Zacht van smaak, maar iets te bananerig
Review by Kieron Wood
My sample notes from 2019 Unique flavour different tour o so devine... Very nice lush flavour wow very surprised by this rum This was one brought back to me from holiday ... at the time Mauritius was not producing much rum but now seems to have exploded .. Nosing Reminds me of a ddl product that's heavy in caramel and acetone Tasting Honestly need to taste side by side with a dosed el Dorado 12

Hauch von Annanas, Toffee, leicht rauchig, Karamell, etwas schwerer
Review by Montana
Ein kräftiger fruchtiger Geruch, Vanille, etwas Pudding. Ein recht süßer Geschmack, Schokolade, etwas Wein, auch fruchtig. Der Nachklang ist mittellang und etwas alkoholisch.
