The next average rum. The nose says very little. You can perhaps detect some wood, barrel and oak. On the palate it becomes relatively spicy, in addition to the wood, and for me it also tastes slightly of red wine, but this could just be due to the color.

Ein angenehmer und gut trinkbarer Rum. Farblich erinnert er sehr an Spirituosen aus einem Sherry- oder Portweinfass. Die Nase ist wenig aussagekräftig, außer wenn man tiefer ins Glas reingeht. Dann kommen einem direkt holzige und fruchtige Noten etgegen. Geschmacklich verändert sich nicht viel. Viel Frucht, Holz und noch etwas Würze kommt hinzu. Der Abgang ist lang und eher würzig, trocken, doch sehr angenehm. Wer es fruchtig und holzig mag, wird hier für den Preis nicht enttäuscht und sollte den Rum probieren.
