Review by Stefan Persson
Even though I’m not a fan of sweetened rum is this quite OK, maybe because it’s produced from sugar cane honey in pot stills and that that gives it another profile. Significant aromas and flavors is bananas, coconut and honey.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Pleasant through and through. Not complex in any way. Just smooth and pleasant. Sweet though, maybe to much in the long run.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is also a very sweet rum but it's really fruity. Using it for baking, ice cream and desserts.
Review by Malte
Excellent, palatable and very interesting rum. The longer you drink it, the more aromas it reveals. Sweet, fruity and spicy with a very interesting interplay of wood and roasted aromas. A very interesting interplay of aromas even after the glass is empty. For me a very good rum...exactly my taste!
Review by Galli33
A very sweet, round rum. I like it a lot as a desert rum with the fam or friends(who aren’t used to the good stuff 😬).

Review by BoAlbertsen
Strong and delicious aftertaste. Lovely sweet aroma and a hint of oak flavor.
Review by Vincent D
The nose was rather appealing, with fruit, vanilla and almost Jamaica-style esters. But on the palate, it's a slightly peppery sugar stone. A touch of coffee too. Frankly, not crazy.
Review by MJ72
Fruit and vanilla in the aroma, honey-sweet with vanilla in the finish.
Review by rs-spirits.de
Super sweet rum for a very good price point
Review by Miňo
Mám rád sladké rumy a toto je jeden z nich. Sladký, sladký a ovocný.
Review by heckto🥃
Eine fruchtig süße XO-Zuckerbombe. Trotz des enormen Zuckerzusatz ist er recht ausgewogen und lecker. Honig, Kokos und Banane prägen das Geschmacksbild. Der Abgang ist schokoladig aber auch etwas sprittig.
Review by Daniel
Super fruchtiger und milder Süßrum. Fragwürdig, ob diese Süße allerdings ohne die Zugabe von Zucker erreicht werden kann, wie angegeben. Erinnert stark an A.H. Riise Abfüllungen.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste of soft tannins, high esters, honey and not least fermented fruit A long aftertaste in the sign of sweetness
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
tastes somehow sweet, floral & sour like vinegar and Gewürztraminer, together with rubber bananas. Better than the Palmira in direct comparison, but still absolutely not my cup of tea and nothing I need to drink again. Sorry.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,2:On the nose it is sweet with notes of vanilla, butterscotch toffee and maple syrup all bursting up. After the airing oak spice pushes through the toffee sweetness. There are other sweet notes of candied oranges and canned apricots. Coconut and some ripe banana finally appear. The nose notes are quite enticing, let 's see how this sweetness will play out through palate. 6,4:On the palate we catch some heated alcohol and wood spice. There is also some maple sweetness, quite tasty, but soon it overpowers the whole rum. There are peppery oak spice, maple, honey and apricot jam and pineapple.In the end, the rum becomes woody.The roundedness is almost gone here. When we put the rum in the fridge, the touch of sweetness abates and becomes more sippable. 6,6:The finish is sweet, quite rounded, probably due to added sweetness. Sweet butterscotch and maple combined with oak are quite tasty. Baking spice, honey and cinnamon linger on.

Expert review by Alkotip
"For the lover of sweet spirits, this will be a nice alternative to the classic A.H. Riise bottles. Both in taste and price. Santos Dumont XO combines Caribbean molasses and Brazilian cane juice. It's a sweet spirit, in an elegant bottle, that tastes of coconut, citrus, caramel, honey, vanilla. And the nice thing is that, despite the added sugar, you can taste the influence of sherry and port casks. No wonder that with a price tag of up to 50 € it is very popular in the sweet rum world."Read full review →
