Sehr milder, fruchtiger Rum. Moderate Süße, angenehm im Abgang, eher kurz.

Lidt sød, men rigtig god

Enkel og lige til glas med en del sødme og karamel
Review by HenryL
Wohl einer der Gründe für den Ruf des spanischen Rumstils: Bisschen Frucht, bisschen Holz und sonst einfach nur süß… Im Abgang ist ne ganz spannende Note zwischen Kaffee und Lakritz, abgesehen davon aber nicht mein Fall.
Review by Tobin
Deutlich besser als erwartet 😀
Review by Kasper
The first stroke is the sugar, next the alcohol and a bit of spices, and then that it has been watered down to 40%. To me or seems to have been watered too much and then some sugar and molasses has been added, maybe even a bit of spice. Clearly a good ground product that has been stretched too much for connoisseurs. Obviously made for those with taste for sweeter rum or for using dark rum in good drinks. For that however it is quite awesome and a very good product, so my rating of 5.5 only reflects that it for me is a Tuesday rum (everyday rum), for drinks and in deserts, but a very worthy product.
Review by Patrick 79
Rhum plutôt agréable à boire. A conseiller pour un débutant qui souhaite commencer par des rhums plutôt sucrés sur des aromes de caramel. C'est bon mais on l'oublie une fois avalé. Aucune longueur en bouche. Le rapport qualité/prix est très correct.

typischer durchschnittlicher Panama Rum ...
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste has a pleasant sweetness with hints of fresh vanilla as well as a touch of coffee and dark chocolate that adds depth and complexity.
Review by Korkennase🥃
Der Rum hat wenig zu bieten. Nase dünn, Gaumen ebenfalls recht dünn. Der Geschmack erinnerte mich an salziges Lakritz mit alkoholischer Schärfe. 😳
Review by Montana
Ein nur leicht süßer Geruch, etwas nach Sherry, etwas Klebstoff, leicht alkoholisch brennend aber nicht unangenehm. Der erste Geschmack ist leicht bitter und würzig, dann kommt die Süße zum Vorschein. Diese hält auch im Abgang noch an.
Review by rum_sk
Going from pure memory as I tried this one at least 3 years ago. Raisins, vanilla, bit of wood and pretty lovely sweetness although the taste was a bit mild kind of diluted. The Patridom XO is very similar but heavier on the flavor and does not feel diluted.
Review by heckto🥃
Man wird von einem sehr dezenten Duft nach Früchten und Holz begrüßt. Allerdings ist dieser Duft eher dünn und kaum wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen kommt zu den Früchten noch Vanille und Schokolade hinzu. Insgesamt ein guter Rum aber nicht Außergewöhnliches.
Review by Matthieu Rhum
Un rhum bien agréable. En bouche, il est fidèle au palais, ses notes boisées et fruitées étant assez prononcées et durables
Review by Gregor
JoA. Was soll man sagen. Kurz, flach nur ein wenig Karamell. Absolut unspannend.
