    Little experience from US rum history. Score is based on historical context and experience, the rum itself doesn’t taste great :)

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

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

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