Review by Werner10
Sweet, burned sugar (caramel), vanilla Short finish. Not bad for my taste.
Review by Fiete Heinrich
Im Zuge eines Blind Tastings verkostet. In der Nase ist sofort diese spezielle pflaumige Fruchtigkeit präsent, die ich mit den Tres Hombres aus der Dominikanischen Republik verbinde. Sehr angenehme Nase. Das leere Glas später hat eine feine Holzrauchnote. Im Mund setzt sich die Frucht, vor allem die Pflaume zusammen mit Rosinen fort. Dahinter Backpulver, ziemlich süß, etwas kräutrig. Das Finish ist kurz und etwas dünn. Etwas trockener mit höherem Proof würde diesem Rum zum "sehr gut" helfen.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh ja sehr lecker. In Nase und Gaumen einen schöne leichte Vanille-, Karamell-, und Kaffeenote. Genau so soll es sein. Dieser Rum hat mich überzeugt. Kann und muss ihn auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Sehr lecker.

Review by Tom Buteneers
Tried this one today, but the 2019.To be honest: not impressed. It’s an easy drinker, quite sweet with a little burn. Port finish not that noticeable. Definitely sugar added. Does not stand out. Probably would have loved it 5 years ago.
