Review by Mark Leggett
Just wanted to give this a try. Expected it to be pretty bad but actually is not bad. Aroma is very pleasant, flavors of apple, apricot maybe guava with caramel and spice. Not a great sipper but not as bad as I expected.
Review by Timo Groeger
Am Flughafen entdeckt diesen Rum und da er noch fehlte einfach bestellt. Hatte ihn mir schlimmer vorgestellt. Neben einer leichten Fruchtnote ist er überwiegend alkoholisch. Etwas Nagellack lässt sich erkennen. Kein Meisterstück.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose a strong apple and spice with mild alcohol. Taste is shallow with an apple and spice with a very mild oak and burn. Finish is short starting sweet and going a little bitter. I would not go out of my way to drink this unmixed. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose mild apple and sweet fruit. Taste reveals a mild sweet apple taste. Finish is short with the sweetness fading to slightly bitter. Not really much better mixed but is drinkable.

Bitter with bit of burn

Bit stronger .. after taste
Review by Jason Toepfer
Not really developed taste. For a rum is makes me think of burning water. Some light tropical flavors, but seems like to much was stripped during distilling. More profile than their silver, but it's a mixing rum not sipping rum.

Not a sipping rum.

On the rocks, typical average rum, everyday taste, fruity smells, no apparent tasting notes, just boozy

Not impressed, a great gift for someone you don't like

Tasted 15-04-2016 This is such a basic shelf rum that can pass you by . Nothing much to it other than the usual sweet vanilla .
