Review by brauersven
Q4 2023. appears to me as identical to Edeka Montajo 40 Ubersee rum. Jamaican funky notes blended with industrial ethanol. Like Pott’s but better. Rumbonen rum :p
Review by Tim
This rum has a fruity nose, also with some vanilla and chocolate. In the mouth disappointingly thin, somewhat sweet, alcoholic spicy and fruity. Nothing new in the short finish. Overall, a rather unspectacular rum.
Review by Timo Groeger
Also mal ganz ehrlich, für einen Billigrum aus dem Supermarkt echt nicht schlecht. Danke an meinen Vrudrr für den Kauf. Hat zwar keine typischen Rumnoten und geht eher Richtung Obstler, aber ist mal was anderes
Review by Cédric Meyers
Plus agréable au nez qu’en bouche. Trop léger au goût
Review by Rumpalumpa
Günstiger Rum in netter Flasche von Lidl. Was ich von dem Inhalt halten soll, weiß ich nicht so recht. An der Nase fällt er zunächst positiv aus, neben dem Alkohol recht fruchtig. Im Geschmack dann aber sehr dünn, alkoholisch und überzeugt mit Cola leider auch nicht.
Review by Thomas Krippgans
Zu stark und kratzig, eher wie ein Whisky.

Hier handelt es sich um einen relativ günstigen Rum den es beim Discounter zu erwerben gibt. Dafür gar nicht mal so schlecht. Schmeckt leicht wie Obstler aber nicht unbedingt kräftig vom Geschmack. Zitrusfrüchte kommen leicht zur Geltung
Review by Ondra Blahovec
Za tu cenu asi není úplně špatný, ale dal jsem mu 3 šance a nakonec šel do drinků a čaje kde mi naopak chutnal. Pro mě suchej esterovej alkoholovej rum. Lahev mi připomíná lékárnu a rum ve finále taky.
Review by Portman
Ziemlich alkoholisch-scharf, irgendwie künstlich. Mit Rum hat das tatsächlich wenig zu tun, darüber rettet auch der Preis nicht hinweg.
Review by Jiří Gajdos
Color is not, in my opinion, natural from barrel aging. Nose is a little bit strange, almost grappa like. On palate it's light bodied, thin, alcoholic sharp and it feels like dilutaded rum with some neutral alcohol. Finish is short and bitter. It really is just on the edge of drinkability.
Review by Michael Janek
nijak výrazně ani zajímavě nevoní chuť je stejná jako vůně - mdlá, nevýrazná, nezajímavá nedal bych to ani do cukroví
Review by Willi Hass
This rum would probably not be recognized as a rum in a blind tasting. For 40% it is quite tangy and smells more like a fruit brandy than a rum. Light amber in color it is certainly colored and sweetened. The base could be a Foursquare diluted almost beyond recognition with neutral alcohol. Quite little wood, quite sweet, with little spice. The taste has probably fallen victim to the price of 8.99€.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Sprittig, brandig, etwas Vanille und Schokolade und das war's. Nichts los hier außer alkoholisches Stechen. Geschmacklich bleibt's ähnlich. Eher Obstler, süß, ein Hauch Schoko und über allem billiger Sprit. Stehen lassen, weitergehen.
