"Many thanks to Artur for sharing the bottle! A really very great, special rum! Very fruity, artificial strawberry notes mixed with esters, also somewhat reminiscent of Baijiu. Alcohol very well integrated. I like it very much!"

"I treated myself to a sample of this rum out of pure curiosity (thanks to Artur)!And am positively surprised!An extremely complex nose with fruity-artificial and spicy-roasty aromas!This continues unabated on the palate. Towards the back it becomes slightly bitter. So he also changes in the finish..a while later comes out again fruit!A very successful and complex rum, but requires a lot of attention!Today from the RumX calendar for the 2.th time in the glass...I am still very taken: it is very complex, intense and delicious!"

"What a board. Reminds me of really good Rockley Style Rum."

"In terms of transparency probably unsurpassed, it almost slays what there is everything noted on the label: 15 days fermentation with Dunder, double distillation in Charentais Pott Still (15 h 7h), 3 years tropically matured in new ISC American White Oak barrel, maximum burned out stage 4 (which leads to the 'alligator skin'). On the nose I feel strongly reminded of Savanna Grand Arome, fermented (red) fruits, tobacco, vanilla. Similar on the palate. The extreme production process results in a super intense rum here with only 3 years of aging! Gladly more of it 😃"

"Very versatile rum: nose reminiscent of Fiji or Jamaica with lots of fruit and ester.On the palate more like a 91 Enmore KFM with licorice. However, not quite as round, the alcohol already bites. A nice new experience!"

"Could go through blind on the nose as Savanna grand Arome almost already. Taste extremely intense saffron, jackfruit, papaya and other overripe almost already fermented fruits, light roast aromas like when you roast anise cinnamon cardamom etc and a very strange but not necessarily negative light acidity.... Super freaky stuff! Meets but only conditionally my taste but exciting my first rum from Taiwan hereby probiet to have, thanks to Artur for that!"

"A 3 years old Taiwanese rum with such an aromatic complexity, it is exceptional! The nose is extraordinary with tropical fruits, strawberry, marmalade, mirabelle plum, papaya, esters, fermented and synthetic notes, woody, spicy, smoky, almonds, sugar, tobacco and floral notes that form an incredible aromatic bouquet. The palate is dreamy, the alcohol is superbly well integrated, with acidic cherry, mango, citrus, pineapple and olive notes that enrich the profile already described. The finish is very long, with notes of espresso, licorice and a slight bitterness. A rum of great class, a real slap. In short: may China leave Taiwan as a free country!"

"A real exotic and for me something very special. What a backlabel! Not to be outdone in terms of info and transparency. The rum promises to have everything I want in rum: 15 days fermentation with wild yeasts and Dunder! Tropical aging and a special first fill barrel that has the strongest burnout: Char 4, Alligator. Let's see...Nose: Ohlala, very complex, artificial-fruity-sweet, reminiscent of Savanna. Mixture of fermented papaya, strawberry gum, peach and kumquat. In addition, creamy taffy and fruit vinegar. Behind slightly woody, with vanilla and tobacco. Really interesting, but you have to like.The nose continues on the palate: artificial fruity (Savanna), papaya pineapple strawberry kumquat. Sweetness of jelly beans or candied lemon peel. In addition, slightly sesameTop !"

"First half of the sample, and I am not able to make my mind up regarding this rum. Tasty, different, interesting are the first thoughts. Definitely very dark and lots of wood influence for only 3 years. Let's have a second go later! After the second try I I think this one is too raw for me, I had trouble getting all notes to my tongue due to the burn, and some acidicy. I am also a bit sad I had not a bigger sample, to try with water or giving even longer breathing time, because in the end of my tasting session I finally got a mouthful of great flavours."
