„Sehr viel Frucht an der Nase, gepaart mit Sirup/Honig und etwas Gebackenem. Im Mund eher dünn, wenn dann süß, fruchtig, röstig. Im Abgang schmeckt man rauchige Noten in Form von Tabak, wobei die Kombination mit süßem Zucker ungewohnt ist. Fazit: als Rum OK, jedoch eher schwach.“

„On the nose first a sweet / sour note... almost like highly diluted vinegar, light smoke joins it!On the palate a strong oily sweetness (added sugar?), which changes to dried apricot / plum and then ends on a smoky note!The finish also includes dried apricots!It's not mine“

„Getrocknete Aprikose, Banane und Ananas in überreif sind hier vorne in der Nase dabei. Mit etwas Wärme kommt tatsächlich eine gewisse Essignote - finde ich aber nicht unangenehm, fügt sich schön zu den Esteransätzen. Raucharomen auch hier dezent. Weitaus süßer als erwartet - und nötig. Funktioniert zwar, wirkt aber unpassend. Generell ist das hier ein recht wildes Durcheinander aus Frucht, Rauch, Holz und sehr ungewohnten Säurenoten wie Grapefruit. Im Abgang dann sehr rauchig, aber erst spät. Hier ist einfach zu viel los. Macht ihn spannend, aber auch leider ziemlich unrund. Als wüsste er nicht was er will.“
