    "Ve vůni se dá tušit, že nás čeká příjemná technicko-ovocná jamajka. Toto se na plno projevuje v chuti, kdy ovocné janlečné tóny střídají ty technicky lepidlové. Závěr je dlouhý, hřejivý, a možná až moc alkoholový."

    "I have to be honest. With this rum, I only decided whether I liked it or not. And this rum is great (I'm happy for the whole bottle). Love the combination of technical and chocolate flavors. If you have chance to try it... just do so."
