Review by Montana
A smell of molasses, light roasted aromas, dark chocolate. A fairly oily body, quite sweet, vanilla with molasses, somewhat alcoholic.
Review by Anonymous
Alc is high and you can taste it
Review by Yannick CULTOT
A rum with obvious notes of coffee, vanilla and a hint of apricot. Quite sweet despite the high alcohol content. The finish is long and smooth.
