    It's not a real hit, but once again something nice and unusual. Nice for sipping in between, but unfortunately nothing more. Reasonable price though. In comparison, I like the FRC Thailand better. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try it as a blender yet.

    Good column still rum. Nice round nose and also tasty. A little rough and edgy in the mouth. EDIT: Once again compared with the FRC ... I have to correct this down again.

    Not bad at all, not to say: pleasant surprise. As Andi wrote here, the rum has a very present Panamá impression, you think you have a Spanish-style rum in front of you. If you like the style, you can make a relaxing evening with this Easy Sipper. Why not a kind of "style imitation" at a very good PLV and successfully integrated alcohol?I assume that Thai aged rum is on the rise and we can still expect a lot from the country.

    Significantly better than the SBS Thailand with Moscatel wine cask finish. Could pass blind as a rather young Belize or Antigua rum. It has a very Spanish feel with lots of caramel, coconut, chocolate and some herbs. However, I find the FRC Thailand much better overall!
