"En salon : Un bon travail sur le bois mais peu de complexité."
"I love good Dominicans when the weather is really hot like it is now so this is a disappointment for me. I think that there’s been a big devolution of quality in this brand where the old versions were quite a bit better. I’ve had several trustworthy people mention this as one of their favorite Dominicans which makes no sense to me considering the quality now that I try it. It’s light to the point of tasteless. Alcohol is well integrated but with something so aqueous it’s hardly an achievement. Dominicans are some of my favorite easy sippers but this one will not be in my rotation going forward. Really pales in comparison with good Dominican brands like Opthimus or the Makasares. Oh well, you live you learn. At least the bottle is beautiful."
"On The Rocks: On the nose moderate oak with brown sugar sweetness with fruit/floral undertones. Taste has a stronger alcohol and spice up front evolving into a sweetness and then back into a slight bitterness. Finish is long with moderate bitterness but yet some sweetness at the same time. There is some definite complexity developed giving it a more sophisticated presence. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a mild musky oak. Taste is smooth but very washed out with only some mild sweetness. Finish is short with mild sweetness. This rum should only be served on the rocks."
"Très déçu, aucune longueur ni complexité, trop doux et sucré"
