    "Tangy hazelnut liqueur with a slightly burning finish. Certainly sweetened, colored and flavored to spice up the neutral alcohol. Let's see how it performs in cola. It performs as expected in cola, although there's not much you can do wrong. Therefore a slight upgrade to 30. Nice and unobtrusive with ginger beer."

    "Well. I did expect more, the Initial smell was of solvent and a bit glue, vanilla afterwards. Tastewise not very sweet but I believe still a bit sweetened, a citrus / vanilla note I find a bit artificial, and... Not much more."

    "6,2:The first nose releases some fairly dry alcoholic aromas. The wood is strongly toasted, releasing notes of well-roasted nuts, chocolate note. A pass of solvent loosens the vanilla from the wood, then reveals a fruity, sweet and tangy character. Caramel and vanilla are accompanied by a very ethereal white floral side. The rum needs time to open, it washes away the alcohol notes and the rum will remain on dry notes of strongly toasted wood and roasted nuts. The dry, vegetal notes evoke walnut blossom, while the woody notes lighten up a little. 7:On the palate, the contrast is quite astonishing, as the rum is now very sweet. Toasted wood and roasted nuts are balanced by this sweetness. Walnuts and hazelnuts are tinged with a burnt, almost tarry touch. The rum is then fluid and light, with hints of tobacco, coconut, red fruit. 6:On the finish, the rum dries out and hooks the taste buds, bringing walnut out and is pretty short. Well, this rum could be easily skipped. 18 is more rounded and sippable."
