    "02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 4 Notes Transparent in colour. Nose Intense, floral, light olive, light glue, esters, citrus, light tomato. Palate Warm, light vegetal, floral, light olive, faint salt, light glue, esters, light tomato. Finish Very long and warm, faint smoke, light vegetal, esters, citrus. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while and while resting a perfume like smell spreads in the room."

    "Attention UFO! The flavors found in this rum are unusual: beacon, ketchup, barbecue ... For those who know, it reminds the Chinese baijiu: a strong alcohol of rice. Strong in alcohol (68,8), strong in ester (845), this rum is not to be put in all hands. Personally, it is too much for me."

    "Ein junger Bergkäse trifft auf rauchige Oliven in geräucherter Salzlake. Irgendwie spannend, aber am Ende doch nicht mein Geschmacksprofil. Freunden des Mezcal wird er bestimmt gut gefallen. Da hab ich wohl ne Flasche zu viel gekauft."
