„A fine rum that is appreciated even with the presence of added sugars (without it surely would have taken more). Rich with well-balanced aromas of spice, wood, leather and cigar. Too bad it is too sweet. An easy and pleasant rum to taste.“

„It's quite ok for the price and it was a nice entry level for me a couple years ago. You get some dried fruit, cherry, toffee, coffee, hint of licorice. The alcohol integration is not great despite a low ABV.“
