"Lots of fruit on the nose, paired with syrup/honey and something baked. Rather thin in the mouth, if then sweet, fruity, roasted. In the finish you can taste smoky notes in the form of tobacco, whereby the combination with sweet sugar is unusual. Conclusion: OK as a rum, but rather weak."
"The taste is sweet-spicy with hints of plums, vanilla and milk chocolate. Long-lasting smoky aftertaste."
