“Very American Oak driven rum. Not unlike a good bourbon. Nose: lots of American Oak driven flavours. Bit of banana. Lots of vanilla. Malt. Will compare this to a bourbon some day soon. Taste: again all the pleasant American oakiness. Baked banana. Nicely sweet. Pancakes. Cinnamon. Peppery finish. Maple syrop. All in all straightforward in a way but very very tasty. Definitely a U.S. worthy profile.”

“Mein erster Privateer. Erstaunlich charakterstark. Sehr kräftiger Fasseinfluss. Wirkt stärker als die 55%. Im Geruch leider schwach, hintenraus bietet er auch keine weiteren Noten. Schöner Grundstoff mit längerer Reifung ist da sicher mehr möglich.”
