Review by Timo Groeger
Also mir sagt dieser Rum nicht zu. In der Nase gleich diese typischen Gewürze wie Anis von einem spiced Rum. Am Gaumen dann auch dieser winterliche Gewürzgeschmack. Wir haben vor allem Anis, Zimt und Vanille, aber auch etwas Orange.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Tastes for me clearly like a Port mourant or Diamond Guyana rum which still comes through clearly and gets a 2nd taste direction through the spices and thus becomes very quaffable. But not necessarily worth 70€ + 0.5 liters and probably also sweetened
Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:The nose of this rum has all the makings of an elegant candy and is very sweet, but round. Cinnamon, vanilla and orange peel seem to have come a long way together, blending and harmonizing to create an almost woody ambience. 7,4:The palate is soft, but not at all sweet, offering a really pleasant texture. The spices take charge, almost bringing a graininess to the palate. The orange peel is carried by this spicy bouquet, before returning the favor with a slow decline. 7,1:The finish is quite long, spicy, with orange peel.

It's the best sweetened, flavoured spirit drink I've ever had. Not rum but tasty.

Blind tasting Colour amber Aroma menthol, liquorice, cola nut Taste varnished cabinet, varnish, herbal liqueur - jagermaister, cinnamon, aniseed Shorter to medium-long finish Abv around 45% I haven't had anything like this, I wouldn't even say it's a rum
Review by DruNierer
Complex, and that’s an understatement. Nice little heat up front, immediately fades to a smooth finish
Review by Kieron Wood
This is not for me , far too harsh on flavours of orange and aniseed . Like a Christmas pudding I'm a glass which some people in the market will love, sadly not this rum drinker ... This is a very clogy liquid so it's clearly dosed with loads of sugar .. I would be interested in the hydrometer reading of this sample .

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"Fortunately it has quite a lot going on in the mix so unlike the Chairman's it doesn't dominate and take over the drink. This is well crafted and presented and whilst not my all time favourite spiced rum, its still a lot better than most. Undoubtedly a few of you..."Read full review →
