    "The nose is really promising. A pleasant sweetness, caramel, spices, vanilla, ger. Nuts, chocolate. Blindly, I would probably have guessed FS. On the palate, everything that the nose has announced can be found again. Probably by far the best I've had from the Philippines so far :D"

    "Rum from the Philippines. I repeat: RUM! It's nice to see that other distilleries there can also produce decent rums. The taste is somewhere between Belize and Barbados, nicely caramelized, slightly sweet and fruity, but also with plenty of power. The alcohol could be a little better integrated, but otherwise a nice drop!"

    "Ein Sample vom 13. GRF, im ICE irgendwo zwischen Berlin und Hamburg probiert, muss sein! Nase: intensiv und kräftig, dank der Fassstärke. Würzig-holzig-fruchtig mit süß-sauerer Stachelbeere und Zitrone sowie Papaya und Kokosnuss. Duftendes Kirschholz mit ordentlich Tabak und Leder. Deutlicher Bourbon Einfluss. Dazu passend Vanille, Karamell und ein bisschen Muskat. Auch hat er eine leicht schokoladige Note. Sehr gefällig, voll und angenehm. Ziemlich gut. 8,5 Gaumen: warm und cremig, würzig-fruchtig mit leichter Karamell-Süße. Hat was von Brioche. Dazu tropische Früchte mit Kokosnuss, speckig-nussig mit Tonkabohne. Intensiv Bourbon und Tabak mit Vanille-Aroma. Auch hier echt lecker. Mal was Gutes von den Philippinen 😉. 8,3"
