Come Hell or High Water XO

Most enjoy its soft sweetness and caramel-vanilla profile. Critics find it too sugary, flat and short. Consensus: an easy, industrial-style spiced rum aimed at novice palates, not complexity hunters.

    Ce n’est pas une mauvaise découverte car je ne connaissais pas du tout, et j’ai eu la chance de gagner la fiole dans un concours. C’est doux et équilibré, mais il manque vraiment de profondeur, d’intensité. La finale est assez courte.

    Mild, angenehm, Karamell und Vanille. Wenig Tiefe. Kurzer Nachgeschmack.

    Un rhum doux et bien équilibré avec une finale assez courte. Goût un peu grillé qui vire sur le sucré caramélisé. Manque de complexité et de longueur pour qu'il passe la barre des 7.

    Un spiced très doux. Du caramel et de la vanille. Moins désagréable que plusieurs spiced bourrés de cannelle et de sucre. Ça reste, comme souvent, une préparation industrielle trop sucrée faite pour des palais novices.
