"Für mich leider deutlich zu wässrig am Gaumen. Da fehlt leider komplett die Power. Ansonsten Kräuter, recht viel holzige Note. Das Sherry-Finish merkt man. Bringt etwas Frucht mit, aber für mich zu viel Süße."

"A pretty OK rum but I know they can do far better. Not the best one by far from Rum Nation. The nose is nice and fruity with vanilla and oak. There is a hint of sherry in there as well. The palate is also fruity, a bit dry and slightly bitter with spices and oak. The finish is medium to long, dry and lightly bitter with raisins and vanilla/oak. "

"Sherry barrel aging complements the Versailles profile well. Nice nose with prune, wood, herbs and vanilla. I like the spicy palate as well. Not a complexity wonder, and lacks some power, but solidly made."

"Tolle Nase! Am Gaumen fehlen ihm leider ein paar Prozente. Ich mag aber den dunklen, dreckigen Charakter!"
