    7.6/10 125 reviews

    A little too weak in my opinion except for the tobacco taste, but despite that fruits, oak and some spiciness is recognizable in the nose and flavors of fruits, chocolate, vanilla and spices as well at the palate.

    Ein lieblich-süßer Rum, der gefällig aber auch etwas sprittig daher kommt. Ich finde hier vor allem Vanille, Karamel und ein paar Röstaromen. Insgesamt ist der aber recht flach und beliebig. Macht nicht viel verkehrt, ist aber auch ziemlich langweilig. 84/100 oder 5/10

    8,5:At first, this rum is more woody. This slightly dusty oak seems to have been well toasted and rested for many years. As if the wood had been lightly rubbed and then blown on it, a small cloud of material appears in the light, made of old wood soaked in brandy, nut powder, spices and fragrant bark.Latter on we continue with tropical fruits like orange peel, mangoes and ripe peaches.Aeration adds details of the barrel: nuts such as walnuts, almond, cocoa, the mineral character of the toasting of the surface of the wood, roasted spices or even very black coffee. All this is finely coated with caramel and molasses, but without sticking, simply to avoid an overly powdery nose. 8,3:The entry in the mouth is both round and woody, with well-toasted oak but also very caramelized and coated with molasses. The atmosphere is therefore rather dark. The spices and nuts are also roasted, and just like the wood, are rolled in a molasses mixed with honey, wood, caramel, vanilla, tobacco and a little orange zest. 8,2:The finish continues with these pleasant aromas and with the orange, which sometimes comes a bit bitter and some dried fruits..

    Intense mouth-feel of sweet sultana fruit, tobacco, and chocolate, with vanilla from the oak. Complex finish with sweet fruit, caramel, and spice.
