Expect grassy‑olive aromas and a palate of licorice, black tea and a touch of smoke, finishing dry and lightly tannic. Popular on RumX with 52 reviews and strong buyer confidence. Some report a perfumed/soapy, medicinal edge and slight thinness, yet it remains a talked‑about pick for vertical tastings.

    How is this rum rated?

    7.1/10 52 reviews

    Here, too, the DNA is recognizable in the nose, wood, herbs, roasted aromas - in addition, a floral-perfumed note comes to the fore, which fades slightly into soapy. On the palate, light citrus fruits, wood, roasted aromas, herbs and hay; however, a disturbing medicinal-waxy off-note comes to the fore that irritates me. Unfortunately, this off-note also remains present in the finish, which is why I cannot give it a better rating.

    Erneut würzige Seife und erneut einfach schlecht.

    Tasted at a private tasting.

    Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet.
