Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Yet another very nice rum from plantation, this time one from Guyana, which is one of my favourite countries when talking about rum. A very well balanced nose with a bit of tobacco to it as well as a hint of vanilla. The finish is nice and long with some cinnamon to it. Well worth the money.
Review by Skyfly
Nette Abfüllung, kommt jedoch nicht an Vergleichsjahrgänge ran. Von Nase bis Abgang viel Holz, Vanille und gebrannter Zucker. Im Gaumen deutlich fruchtiger mit Orange und Kirsche. Alkohol ist super ejngehudnen.

sehr harmonischer Guyana!
Review by reina
First nose is roast and some pepper. Some moments later it gets slight sweeter with baked sugar. The taste is again very roasty and pepper with some bittersweet notes. The finish comes with spices, burnt and some bittersweet notes. First sip was with a short finish, the second one last much longer. Nice rum. Fortunately, I still have got a spare bottle. :-)
