6:On the nose, this is indeed a spiced rum. Spices and licorice are present, but vanilla is even more so. There's also a hint of cherry. 6,4:Sweet on the palate. The ever-present spices (clove) are joined this time by orange. Vanilla is also present.. 6:The finish is sweet, on spices and vanilla. Drinkable also neat.... Edit:1.8.25
Quite simple and, as expected, quite sweet on the finish
Auto-translatedDolce e pungente con una consistenza corposa
Nicht schlecht aber auch nicht mein Favorit zum puren trinken. Als Backzutat im Christstollen ist er allerdings wirklich eine Wucht und als "Cola-Rum" ebenfalls in Ordnung. Eindeutig der bessere Mixer als Skipper.
