Du caramel et de la vanille bien sûr, du bois et pas grand chose d’autre. Les arômes ici sont comme affaiblis, comme si le rhum a été légèrement coupé à l’alcool pur. Un petit peu de verni à ongles. La première bouche est faible mais sans impression de dilution, puis les même arômes montent. La finale est trop courte, même si le bois et le caramel restent plus longtemps. Une déception ici, il est nettement en dessous des attentes et nettement moins intéressant que le « Isla del Tresoro » par exemple. Sans parler de son prix.
Review by Johannes
Etwas muffig, wenig Geschmack, etwas Holz, Schokolade, aber leider insgesamt relativ flach und im Abgang alkoholisch.

Meine Güte passiert hier wenig in der Nase und auf dem Gaumen. Wenn es Verschnitt wäre, hätte es wenigstens eine Entschuldigung. Das hier ist rundum schade. 10% mehr und kein Zucker und das könnte eine Granate sein....
