St. Nicolaus Professorado Caribbean Elixir
Caramel and vanilla up front, with a sweet, slightly rough body and a clear alcoholic edge at only 38%. One taster picked up plums, orange peel, pepper and roasted coffee, calling it more woody than other Eastern European rums. Most find it drinkable but nothing special, and a couple felt it landed closer to a young whisky than a rum.

Review by Miňo
Celkom mi chutil samotný. Podľa mňa schopný rum a lepší ako Venezuela. Chuť je sladká s tónmi vanilky a kramelu.
Review by Filip Jeřábek
Vůně příjemná, trochu nasládlá, lehce agresivní. Sudová chuť, maličko sladká. Lehce hrubší. Takovej střed. Slovensko
Review by LukaŽiga
5,8:On the nose it is quite intense right after opening the bottle. We can scent soft pepper, plums and raisins from the fruits, vanilla, roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Seems quite balanced on the first impression. 5,5:On the palate, there is caramel, then orange peel and pepper, nutty, vanilla and a little fruity. Of course, alcoholic... More woody than competition from Eastern Europe. 5:The finish is a bit woody and alcoholic, quickly wanes.

Sehr süß und alkoholisch im Geschmack. Kann man trinken ist aber nichts besonderes.
