    Wow, real power! I'll have to serve this one in a blind tasting (Jamaica funk). 🤓

    Very strange white rum. On the nose, pure glue & nail polish with overripe fruit. The taste is then quite alcoholic, salty, bitter and grassy at the same time. Reminds me of a slightly tangy grappa, with artichokes in brine. All in all, simply far too alcoholic and not my cup of tea in terms of aroma. Unfortunately, it doesn't convince me at all in a daiquiri. Too bad.

    I like it very much. Nice and fruity. Alkoholeinbindung could still be a little better, but a really good white rum. Has surprised me positively
