Review by N’ours
Une très belle surprise. Nez parfait équilibre entre épicé, fruit et bois. Un peu poivré, une note de cacao fumé. Bouche équilibré, gourmandise. Toujours le fruit confit, le poivre, une touche caramélisé un peu de moka. Final très longue pour le degré, sur le bois et le chêne.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Thinking about the price you get a good deal here. Very well rounded and intense rum. In order to release its full flavours you need to rest this rum for at least 15 minutes and I fond that it was best after 30 minutes. The oak is taking the front seat here without being too dominant.
Review by Fanou Le Rhumier
Un rhum très singulier de part sa maturation. Ravira les amateurs du genre ou sera détesté par les autres mais ne laissera pas indifférent
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Un Montebello un peu sombre mais très intéressant, du bois, un peu sec, du sucre brûlé, des fruits séchés, une belle rondeur, une longueur sympathique, il offre un joli moment sans être un monstre de complexité.
