Review by heckto🥃
One is greeted by a strong ethanol aroma with caramel. On the palate, fruits and some almond dominate. Pure he does not convince me, is more suitable for Cuba Libre. The price / performance ratio is right, however.
Review by LogFnx
un rhum léger pour les débutants ou pour la cuisine ou la "petite" mixologie. Un léger fruité avec quelques note florales fugaces. Pas mauvais mais rien d'extraordinaire non plus. Un petit rhum sud américain sans prétention mais sympathique.

Obyčajný celkom piteľný rum. V chuti cítiť vanilku,mandle.

I use this one for a normal rum cake with berries. Very good flavours after baking both on the nose and palate.

Review by ThePitta
So, the first time I smelled it I got immediatelly hit by strong ethanol, then it became weaker and the rum gives a bit of aroma, mostly some light smells of fruit and flowers. The taste... a bit weird. At first quite nice, then it burns and thwn my mouth cooled down. Not very sweet. I was able to locate the almond note, but couldnt identify the rest. Definitely interesting and it cost 11€, but not the best. Drinkable, but not very pleasant. PS: After the residue in my glass dried, it smelled exactly like walnuts. At least that :)
