    "Kräftig, würzig, tropische Früchte, Johannisbeere und Pfirsisch. Dazu Minze und Bleistiftspäne. Toller EMB. Die tropische Reifung macht in sehr robust und intensiv. Kein Rum für Einsteiger, den dürfte der Rum etwas überfordern."

    "Im Direktvergleich mit dem Artesanal und Rum Club mit der deutlichsten Süsse und einem sehr runden Profil. Gefällt mir sehr gut, tolle Ausgewogenheit, ohne zu Lasten der aromatischen Komplexität zu gehen. Eindrückliches Niveau, exquisit."

    "Überraschend mild für die Alkoholstärke , geschmacklich ist er mir zu bitter und zu viel Leder, Lederpolitur, Minze, viel Holz und Bleistiftspähne. Dennoch typisches 95er Profil aber da kenne ich bessere aus dem Jahrgang..."

    "Richtig guter EMB . Sehr Fruchtig mit toller Alkohol Integration. Nase kommt mit schöner Süße ,tropischen Früchten und etwas Ester . Am Gaumen wieder Tropische Früchte, kräuter und etwas Leder ... Holz eher nicht der Rede wert. PLV finde ich hier gerade noch angemessen."
