Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Für nur 43% und nur 4y alt überraschend intensiv. Für knapp 30€ auch sehr fair. Toller Einstieg für Australien! Kirsche, Honig und Rosenwasser mit etwas Vanille. Definitiv ein toller bezahlbarer Rum, bei den man wenig falsch machen kann.
Review by TheFrenchRefill
A rum that I find really original and quite complex. For the nose, make a first pass, then let it air to make a second pass which will let you pass other nuance. A rather fruity rum with a vegetable roundness that I like very much
Review by Adam B
Low proof and dosage keeps it somewhat frivolous, but otherwise a remarkable dram and impressive for its age and cost. Drinks above it's proof, which is bizarre given the dosage.
Review by Paul Christiaens
To be honest, I would have mistaken this for a Bourbon, if I hadn't known it's a rum. Probably the pot still and low cut points could be a reason for this. Judged on it's own, this is a rather boring spirit to me. The finish is a bit weak. Nose: is this rum? Blind, I'd have thought that it would be a bourbon. A bit of orange, flowers, clove, maybe a hint of vanilla. Later also peach on syrup. Taste: a bit of glue, but mainly white oak, clove, pepper, orange zest, peach, vanilla, dough. Finish: short and a bit weak, mainly lingering on the spice and orange.
Review by Kasper
Finnish liquorice and eucalyptus. Very weird in s nice way. Not perfect but definitely worth trading over and over again. Happy to have it on the shelf, to show people what rum can also taste like.
Review by benoit burger
I find the nose rather closed and vegetal. On the palate, it's a little more expressive, starting with a spicy woody note, followed by a fresh vegetal one. The finish is short to medium.

Nosing - Ripe bananas , tipex and nail polish Tasting Fruity front pallette mixed with the nail polish . Mango juice
Review by Rumpalumpa
Floral, tart notes, but not too dominant, tending a little towards agricole. Quite peppery spice alongside the vegetal notes. Therefore not my preferred type of rum overall, but an experience for once
Review by JohnI
I found this to lean towards a cane juice rum vs molasses rum. I love it in a Mai Tai. Ok sipper.

Chutna spis jako vinovice. Ale chut je dobra.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Nez énolique pauvre Bouche sympa caramel bois, anis discret. Paraît assez sucré quand même. Un rhum boisé dans mes goûts, simple mais pas cher à 30€.
Review by Rado Vito
It is the second time in the advent calendar from 1423, isn´t it? Probably they couldn´t sell the stock of these bottles. I can´t blame them, the price is too high for this rum. I would rather choose one from Plantation Australia edition to be honest. Australia 4 - I rate you 4.
Review by carnoland
Beau nez, agréable en bouche et original , final avec une pointe d amertume
Review by Tom Buteneers
Rather something to mix, not to enjoy purely. But for mixing at the same time, there are better and cheaper things. A taste was more than enough.

"Nothing particularly wrong here, just really boring. Way too short inside a cask. And the abv does not help. We have seen better Independent beenleighs for that price. Shame! I see the quality that they can deliver elsewhere...."
