This is a very nice blend especially when looking at the price tag. I like the nose because it is there from oæe ing the bottle and only gets better whil rested in the glass. Well rounded and fruity with spices and a very nice floral bouquet. The palate is warm and takes off where the nose ends.

Great, complex Haiti blend! Goes in the direction of Casimir / Clairin. Great price-performance ratio!

The third and last of the Papalin series. Has a lot of Clarin.Nose: herbal-spicy, slightly woody and some fruit. First I got a mix of olive, pumpkin and saffron, with a slight vinegar impact. But next to that, honey sweetness and green apple. The whole but stirred in yogurt. In the back also a spicy licorice note. Interesting. 80Palate: herbal-spicy-sweet. Slightly bitter-salty at the start, clearly towards sesame, fennel and olive, maybe even artichoke. Then, however, slightly fruity with plum. But also seems creamy-bacony and toasted overall. A bit grassy at the back. Again, interesting. 80Haiti and its Clarins have a character all their own. This is captured very well here and clearly rounded off by the cross blend. Good introduction to this type of rum.

Typical rum from Haiti. Light oak, a bit floral to taste. It gets you quickly warm around the heart 😀

A well done blend... a blend with fruit and spices... however a bit thin on the palate! The alcohol is also not well integrated. This unfortunately results in a few points deduction

My palate is a little messed up from the cigar and the New Yarmouth that I had just before sampling this rum. I will sample it again with a fresh palate one of these days and will add my tasting notes then.

MMn a very great rum. Wonderful fruity nose with light ester notes, which can also convince on the tongue!

All in all, a very digestible round daily sipper, nothing special, but still tasty.

Fresh and floral with hints of spices and zest. To be honest, nothing special. Is it drinkable? Yes definitely, but it lacks complexity and the abv could be better integrated. I recommend a sample before buying a bottle. Price to quality is OK, but life is too short to drink (a whole bottle of) mediocre rum.

Very well rounded and super delicious. I would note that whilst it’s complex, balanced and layered, it does take away a little bit from discovering one type fresh sugarcane rum wonders!

Not a bad product, its admittedly tasty but all of the Haitian estery, savory, funky flavours have been killed by barrel notes. Whole lot of spicy flavours in that product as well. I think its not worth the money
