Review by Timo Groeger
Ich finde diesen Rum auch ganz okay. Schmeckt vielleicht einen Ticken zu süss. Auf jeden Fall kan man Vanille und Karamell rausschmecken, aber wie gesagt, etwas zu süss. Aber mit Cola gemischt schmeckt er bestimmt top.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
viel zu süß und sirupartig und etwas fruchtig seifig wirkend...
