“Surprised me in a positive way. C<>H character comes through in the nose and palate. Finish is unfortunately short and flat. The finish fortunately does not predominate...but without a finish it would probably be a bit better for me. A little more ABV would have been good. PLV with 82€ for 0.7 liters and GRF release in my eyes absolutely okay. Now off into the May Tai with it.”

“I definitely liked that rum… A overwhelming mix of high ester, grilled pineapple and sherry notes 🤤 After the 3rd or 4th sip and some rest i found some delicious almond notes too. On the palate you can find almost the same notes. The alcohol is not integrated well, so it‘s a „bit“ spicy on the tongue. The finish is quite long and bit astringend.”

“This one was a nice surprise and the price is pretty good so one bottle ended up in my shopping bag. Nice and fruity with the Jamaica notes and light wood. Not a super funky Jamaican but still does what it's supposed to 😊”
