Review by Kieron Wood
A cocktail rum from the Dominican that's very flexible , wouldn't really try neat but excellent in a cheap old fashioned or a Hemingway .
Review by StormAK
По мне самый лучший базовый доминиканец в свои деньги. Спиртуозности ноль. Все что хочешь от рома тут находишь
Review by zabo
Fande that he tasted better in the Dominican Republic. At home he has somehow lost the flow. In the PinaColada but it is my favorite. Probably because I then get every time vacation flashbacks.
Review by wrighty03
lovely, smooth almost floral and nutty - medium finish, quite harsh when drank without ice though. Very easy to drink iced. My first tasting of this I loved it, second tasting somewhat underwhelmed, but upon giving it a proper go again I just love it- smooth, nutty, delicious. Would highly reccomend
Review by Émile Shevek
Surprising notes of chocolate, coffee and caramel keeps one company. Re-tasted in the new bottle and after years it still manages to surprise with its typical Dominican warm notes followed however then by a woody dryness(of barrel/cork/skin/mold) that I find unique! Excellent quality/price ratio

Review by Polytheiser
Besorgt, um damit Mamajuana anzusetzen, als Grundlage in Ordnung :p
Review by Henry Davies
Sweet an inoffensive nose. Peach and honey with some wood and vanilla. Ok but not exciting. On the mouth everything is a let down, thin, watery and no depth at all. Wood and some brown or demera sugar. Finish has some ginger and a dry undertone. Short and unmemerable. Mixed maybe an average rum, sipped or anything similar don’t even bother
Review by Rumpalumpa
I am pleasantly surprised by this rum. I wouldn't have expected too much for the price, but it's perfectly usable. Bought it for cola rum and found it to be good. Now have another bottle for cocktails, let's see how that works out.
Review by Rado Vito
Very good with coke.
Review by Thunderbird
I am a little undecided here... on the one hand it is very concentrated , spicy and woody, but on the other hand there is an aftertaste that bothers me ... somehow like nail polish!
Review by Gregor
Very boring and short-winded
Review by R Wehner
Nix besonderes, aber tolles PLV. Bombe zum Mischen, zur Not auch ausreichend zum pur trinken. Riecht und schmeckt wie nen leicht verdünnter guter Rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
