„Retasting this rum and it lost some points compared to the first run. When I first tried this rum I was surprised at what quality you get at this low price. A must try in my mind. The nose is sweet with spices and fruit topped with a hint of coffee and cognac. The palate is well balanced with wood/oak and sweetness from honey, caramel and burnt sugar. Add to that some caramel, chocolate and honey and it's a hit. The finish is medium long, creamy and sweet with a hint of coconut and orange.“

„Leckerer Dom Rep Rum, allerdings etwas zu süß. Absolute Standardaromen, die man von vielen anderen spanischen Rums her kennt. Leider etwas dünn, als Anfängerrum geht es noch klar, aber so günstig ist dieser Rum dann auch nicht. Fazit: gibt günstigere und bessere Rums dieses Stils.“

„This used to be one of my favorites when I was more into sweet rums. It still have some interesting notes, but the sweetness takes it down too much, so this is the highest I can give it.“

„Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: ** Taste: *** Overall: *** I have to give this rum some more credit compared to my first tasting back in 2018. This is a rum with a subtle and elegant nose that doesn’t reveal that much. Taste is nice and I find the sweetness almost like burnt sugar and some dried fruits and raisins. A nice sipper.“
