Review by Nick Gerrard
Strong aroma like a Jamaican rum, heavy on the dunder, but quite refined with it. Spicy and dry in the mouth with a caramel undertone. Finish is woody and nutty.
Review by 🇩🇪Dirk Lennhoff🇩🇪
Surprisingly fruity on the nose, like a large fruit cocktail. Vanilla and barrel notes on the palate. First toffee and pastry on the finish, then woody again.
Review by Mathieu Visiere
A good rum, pleasant in the mouth, lightly woody and vanilla-flavoured, with no added sugar or colouring.
