One taster nailed it: this drinks like a Bounty bar in a glass, all fresh coconut and milk chocolate. Add a rye cask finish that shows up spicy but well-behaved at the back, plus marzipan and a little burnt sugar. Most find it sweet, mild and very easy to drink; a couple wished it were a touch drier and fruitier.
The community says- Coconut and chocolate
- Well-integrated rye

#4555 18.01.2024 Flipping a few samples today ☺️ This is an easy drinkable rum with a nice fruity profile. The palate is well rounded and sweet while also being mild in a way. The finish is medium long with a nice plum and marzipan mix. The empty glass has some chocolate, nutts and faint coconut.

Note: Employment at Perola GmbH (spirits industry), partial professional involvement with evaluated bottlings. All reviews are my personal, unpaid opinion. Very exciting blend, not too sweet, nicely complex thanks to the Rye cask finish and taste-wise strongly reminiscent of Bounty/Milky Way 🤤🥥🍫
Review by Johannes
Probably sweetened, but well-made blend with spicy cinnamon/coconut notes.
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: On the nose, the Jamaican dominates. Fruit, some ester. But also vanilla and oak notes. Barbados is present too. DR is rather unobtrusive for me. On the palate, the rum is pleasant. The 45% are noticeable and burn a bit on the tongue. Sweet fruit notes like banana and coconut are recognizable. Vanilla and also light wood notes are present. It is pleasantly sweet. The finish is short to medium length and has a certain spiciness. The rum is solid but not particularly exciting. The idea has potential and the blend is good. The Jamaican part saves the rum. But the fact that sugar was added is a pity and somehow unnecessary. At least transparent, as the bottler provides the information.
Review by Patrick M
Nice drop for whiskey lovers, smell of coconut, vanilla, chocolate. Taste and finish with a big whiskey touch. I find it relatively mild at the start and then the finish gets a bit sharp/peppery. The alcohol is very well integrated. I find the finish a bit disappointing and short. For me, as someone who’s not a whiskey lover, it’s okay, but as a well-known distiller would say: "It’s not going to change your life. 😅
Review by Christoph
A mix of marzipan, fruit bread and some milk chocolate that’s really fun. The rye finish is well integrated here and not as obvious as in the Plantation Jamaica 1996. For an even better rating, the rum could be fruitier for my taste. I especially like the taste of fresh coconut at the end.
Review by R Wehner
Nose rum with distinct marzipan notes; tongue sweet, spicy, a bit sharp alcohol-wise, a bit of coconut, I don't taste Bounty or similar, overall not my thing
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Very rounded nose. The rye comes strong but not intrusive. Jamaica portion stays in the background, mainly Barbados upfront. Mild attack, relatively cool - coconut and chocolate come out clearly with more air. A hint of vanilla. The rye comes at the end. I like it!
Review by Ginger & Fred
I love this rum. Complex regarding fruitiness. The rye barrel is very present. Pleasantly woody. Very very accessible.
