Hier stimmen Preis und Leistung. Ein perfekter Einsteiger Rum. Sehr mild
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
At the price this rum comes at it's a really decent rum actually. The nose is heavy with spices and a touch of fruits and nuts. The palate is sweet with spices and frimuity followed by a gentle touch of oak, caramel and chocolate. The finish is medium long and sweet with spices. A very good beginners rum that I usually bring to tastings for beginners and it's usually a hit.

Review by Daniel
Nachgezuckert, einfacher Sipper, top Einsteiger
Review by Montana
Ein leicht alkoholischer Geruch, fruchtig, leicht nach Klebstoff, später kommt auch mehr Süße zum Vorschein. Recht angenehmes Aroma. Der Geschmack ist angenehm süß, etwas nach Honig und Sirup. Der Abgang ist recht lang, süßlich und ölig. Ein angenehmer recht süßer Rum.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Purer Zucker, da bleibt geschmacklich kein Platz mehr für was anderes…
