Nice solid long pond. The orange wine has had very little influence. On the other hand, it is beautifully fruity and intense for this low alcohol strength. Price-performance ratio fits. Clear recommendation to buy/drink
Auto-translatedHad the Sedunum bottling. The nose is subtle even if diverse nuances are there. The Orange Wine finish makes the rum very round. Even if I have the impression that the Jamaican notes thereby get into the background. Good trib strength.Good rum that brings some layers of flavor. Fun to drink. Very good PLV.
Auto-translatedWhile nose and finish are pleasing, the experience on the palate is rather flat and alcohol forwards. Does not meet my expectations for a VRW unfortunately.
#4213 Looking at the price tag you get a good rum at a decent price. Fruity with nice spices and roasted wood notes. The esters are there but just not a lot of them. The empty glass is nice and has some chocolate and very light licorice.
