Review by Tim
Interessant... vergorene Früchte, Klebstoff und Wein. Im Mund sehr wässrig, wobei Klebstoff und Frucht zurück bleibt. Nicht wirklich ein Knüller, aber ein Versuch wert.
Review by Christian Rudt
Mal wieder was blind verkostet. Danke in die Community@Adrian. Tatsächlich find ich den Rhum hier überraschend gut. Hatte schon ein paar aus der RA Standard Range im Glas und dieser hier sticht positiv hervor. Tolle Fruchtnoten, etwas grasiges Zuckerrohr. Am Gaumen ein wenig Mango und zum Schluss dann ein leicht rauchiger Abgang. Easy Drinking, nur schade das es den wohl nicht mehr gibt. Für den Ausgabepreis unschlagbar.
