Sip this after dinner and it makes sense — chocolate, coffee and caramel on the nose, then a very sweet palate of cocoa, almond and orange. Several members are blunt that it drinks more like a liqueur or "flüssiges Dessert" than a traditional rum. Beginners tend to enjoy exactly that softness; anyone chasing dry, spirit-forward rum will find it flat and sugary.

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, chocolate-almond dessert sipper Reviews land the same way: pleasant and easy, but too sweet and a bit flat for seasoned drinkers, who repeatedly say it reads more liqueur than rum.

Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
This rum is clearly too sweet for me. On the nose still quite interesting with fruity and chocolate, coffee notes. But on the palate very sweet, also chocolate and almond. Okay as a liqueur but not a rum.
Review by th.jojo
Extremely sweet rum. Good for beginners.

Tastes like chocolate, almond, sweet
Review by Timo Groeger
After the reviews I thought something decent was coming, but the nose immediately revealed that this is not the case. Chocolate, coffee, cocoa and caramel are recognizable here. However, it is not a rum, but rather a liquid dessert again.
Review by Pavel Peknica
Excellent, honeyed, slightly orange, similar to A. H. La Galante
Review by MJ72
Calm representative, rather flat. Sweetness and vanilla.
