    An der Nase noch ein wenig zurückhaltend, Vanille und kräuterige Frische kommen am Gaumen eine gewisse Süße, Schokoladennoten und Zitrusfrüchte dazu. Zwar etwas dünn, aber gefällt mir.

    Ja dieser Rum gefällt mir. In der Nase kommt er schön frisch und fruchtig daher. Im Gaumen dagegen kommt er eher würzig daher. Ausserdem ist eine leichte Würze zu schmecken und auch Gebäck kann man schmecken. Lecker.

    Unusually herbal and apple-like (green Granny Smith) for a Spaniard. But these typical light smoke, nut and caramel notes can also be found here, as is often the case with El Salvador, but here with a much more herbal touch! Overall really very complex and exciting to drink. And you can't go wrong for the money it cost back then anyway! ♥️

    Hier ein ganz bekömmlicher Rum, nichts besonderes. Im Geruch denkt man eher das ein paar fruchtige Aromen durch dringen. Im Geschmack sind dann aber die Kräuter sehr dominant. Alkohol meiner Meinung nicht perfekt eingebunden.
