    A liquid cream candy - on the nose extremely dominant caramel, vanilla and cream notes. On the palate, spicier hints are added, but unfortunately the dilution is also noticeable and takes the rum a little density. Nevertheless, an extremely drinkable and pleasing drop.

    Very horny bourbon nose. But too flat on the palate.

    Leider etwas dünn, was sich auch im Geschmack bemerkbar macht.

    Another of the nice rums in the tasting today. This is a great rum, maybe the proof should have been a tiny tad higher but all in all nice. A very expensive drop, which is very hard to get your hands on, but we'll worth every penny.
