    Who is this rum for?

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to alcohol bite or heavy wood, or anyone looking for a very sweet, dessert-style sipper.

    Liquid Leuven 2025 Pleasantly surprised by this one. Price quality rum!

    25/01/2025: tasted @ Liquid Leuven in "De Hoorn". Pleasantly surprised by this one! Good nose and the palate reminded me of a TDL. Very good price to quality ratio. Makes me curious about other rums from New Grove or Mauritius.

    12.06.2020 Relaxing over a nice lunch with friends and family and a few rums. Notes Medium dark colour. Nose Fresh, wood, vegetal, tropical fruits, herbs, light mint, faint caramel. Palate Round, fresh, fruity, mango, spice, herbs, balanced, light wood, faibt roasted. Finish Medium long, wood, light fruits, light mint. Extra note Add a bit of water and a lot if herbal notes are released.

    Very pleasant with a nice length in the mouth. Just give it time to open up and you have a nice fruit salad!
