Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
12.09.2020 Nice evening with family and a few friends. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Spicy, wood, fruity, dried fruit, plum, light vegetal, faint caramel. Palate Light spicy, wood, light roasted, fruity, light salt, plum, light anise, light tannins. Finish Wood, roasted, faint chocolate, light licorice, plum, raisin, faint floral. Extra note Needs to rest for a long time to release all the flavours.
Review by Filip Kalinovský
Co rict guyana je moje krevni skupina. Vune velmi prijemne dřevitá, ovocná, karamel a po delsim odstati ve sklenicce se ukaze cokolada. Doporucuji mit delsi dobu v ustech pote se ukaze kořeni, ovoce, mirne slanost, trosku lekorice. Zaver je mirny , krasne jde citit drevitost.
Review by Filip Šikula
The aroma is quite intense vanilla, spices and fruit. In the taste it is thin and not too intense, fruit, black tea, but unfortunately too mild. In the finish, the flavour turns bitter, which is not very pleasant.
Review by Martin Švojgr
the taste reminds me of soap and that's not what I want to smell in rum :-(
Review by Martin Ekrt
Vůně je dost zastřená, jemně ovocná. Nechal jsem to minimálně 30min odstát, ale nic moc se nerozvinulo. Zase je to i v chuti takové zastřené, až moc jemné. Spíš bych tipoval, že to má kolem 43%. Celkově vzato pohodový rum, ale očekávání jsem měl úplně jiné.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It's pretty good. Yes it's a bit on the light side but it delivers quite a nice reasonably well balanced sipper. It's also a lot different to other rums - the Armagnac cask has brought something different to the table. You would probably buy a bottle and enjoy it but..."Read full review →
