Review by cigares
Un autre rhum de l’embouteillage Suisse Origin R. Avec un nez herbacé, herbes amères, menthol léger mais rond et très agréable. La bouche est extraordinaire, la montée en puissance des arômes est progressive, ils tapissent la bouche avec du soyeux. La finale est sur le vermouth et un côté caramel. Elle est persistante mais tout en légèreté. L’alcool est parfaitement intégré. Ce rhum me fait penser à une cascade dans une forêt subtropicale avec plein de hautes herbes autour.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Nice nose. A full-bodied rum with variety. Air does it good, it's better balanced. Herbal, spicy, medicinal. In the finish yellow fruits and tobacco notes join in. Complex awesome rum, but still easy sipping.

12.06.2020 Relaxing over a nice lunch with friends and family and a few rums. Notes Medium dark colour. Nose Fresh, wood, vanilla, apple, fruity, balanced. Palate Balanced, complex, wood, light roasted, tobacco, fruity, fruitcake. Finish Medium to long, wood, tobacco, dried fruit, light chocolate.
Review by Mopar Rules
This is amazing stuff! A full bodied, warm and intense rum. Both on nose and palate the alcohol and the cask is very good integrated, with a presence that is always there but never dominant. A sweetness and fruitiness lingers above the alcohol and the wood. Plums and dried fruits, a subtle hint of cherry. It’s perfectly balanced. One of the best rums in a while
Review by John Coffey
The spicy side is a bit too strong for me. Good value for money though and nice complexity.
Review by Nando70
Again 55°... Help... Ah... Well no... The floral nose of the sugar cane is really present! A delight... You could spend the evening just on the nose. On the palate you have floral first then the alcohol that disappears relatively quickly and the sweetness arrives with soft woody scents. An excellent finish with balanced scents you found on the palate but all in finesse. Another favorite.
