    A piece of history! Many thanks to Steffen, who made it possible to taste the rum!

    I can't believe I was able to taste such a part of history. Light and fruity 😊 Thank to whoever brought it 👍

    Incredible to experience such a rum - thank you Steffen! More history in the glass is hardly possible.

    Either I had a really bad sample or the rum is really only average at best. To be completely honest, I would give it a maximum of 60 points, but as it is a piece of rum history, I give it 75 points. This is a rather one-dimensional rum that is also heavily sweetened. Don't hold it against me, but it's nothing for me.
