06.2024 First impression: sweet, fruity, soft, vanilla - very pleasant Nose: a bit of everything: yellow fruit, spices, vanilla, honey, wood - I like it very much Palate: continuation of the nose, but with a nice contrast through well-dosed aromas of tobacco, wood, spices Finish: medium to long, pleasant, dominated by the woody aromas and a very slight hint of bitterness, but this goes well with it Overall impression: very round, no outlier aromas, well-integrated alcohol, probably inconspicuous in mixers
For the money...well, there's nothing to criticize.
Nothing special, of course. But when you consider that this rum is almost on a par with the standard Bacardi & Havana Club in terms of price, then you really have to pay tribute.
Lepší v chuti ako vo vôni. Jemne cítim karamel a vanilku, inak alkohol.
