    Not really suitable for

    Sehr schöner Rum aus einer eher noch unbekannten Destination. Perfekt um mal etwas neues kennenzulernen. Trotz seiner 67% kommt er sehr Rund und geschmeidig. Super Debüt das mehr verspricht vom Abfüller

    Intensiv, fruchtig, blumig, Vanille & Honig. Schmeckt richtig gut mit einem Tropfen Wasser und als Mixer bestimmt eine Granate.

    Edit: Heute nochmal pur und als Mixer probiert. Glaube ich habe Anfangs ein wenig zu hoch gegriffen. Für mich ein solider Rum. Der neue Fiji von Fabian ist aber deutlich besser, auch wenn er in eine andere Richtung geht. Deswegen ein bißchen nach unten korrigiert. Wie man auf dem Bild sieht, stellt dies wohl die Rumwelt ein bißchen auf den Kopf. Für einen Rum aus Ghana super funky. Anfangs ist er wie ein Birnenbrand, aber dann wenn das bitzeln im Mund aufhört ist er wie angeschmolzene Milchschokolade die in Honig eingelegt war. Ich finde ihn extrem lecker. Bin gespannt was Fabian noch so aus dem Hut zaubert.

    Very cool release. Ghana in its purest form. Very flowery & herbal. Think it's a grenade in a daiquiri. Great to see a new bottler who dares to do something. 67% and Ghana as the first release. I like it better in direct comparison than the RumClub Cudjoe. Congratulations Fabi!
