Review by Dominik-84
A sweet dessert drink. Nose: lots of cinnamon and cloves on a sugar cloud. Round and smooth, not the slightest sharp or alcoholic note. Palate: similar sweetness and cinnamon-forward impression, with cloves like in a mulled wine. A little astringency as in heavy red wine. Finish is short and viscous.
Review by Boletus
Well, I don't really know what to say about this. I really like cinnamon and allspice, but this is really too much of a good thing for me. It's also just far too sweet for my palate.
Review by Chrischi78
Was für ein schönes Etikett, Punkt. Damit ist dann auch das positivste gesagt. Im Grunde ist er für den Weihnachtsmarkt erfunden worden, um kaltgespülte Glühweingläser von den Mundkeimen des Vorgängers zu befreien und das Glas mit vermeintlichen weihnachtsassoziierten Geschmacksnoten zu pafürmieren. Ein Untergang in Zimt und Gewürz.
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 09-11-2020 This is hands down one of the worse rums I have ever drank . My review read that if you like your rum tasting like winter gin then drink this hideous concept. Heavy on aniseed , lovely for Christmas pudding not for flavoured sugared rum like this .
