"Vanilla/caramel voyage 6,5:On the nose, you'll find the whole Spanish style, inviting, suave and rounded. Vanilla and caramel woodiness are omnipresent. It's distributed here with enough force to make this rum a great tasting experience. We don't fall into the sugar trap and enjoy the toasted coconut and nuts that complete the profile. Airing brings out the sweet vanilla to the fore, having carried off a raw, white wood .Some sweet spices can also be noticed. 6,5:The palate confirms that this is a rather serious rum, but not very complex, which has not come to flatter the sweetest palates. There's that typical, sophisticated woodiness, with a little bite, a little sweetness, metallic, balance in short. The texture is fairly light, with no intention of overpowering, but simply satisfying, with that lovely toasted coconut and sweet spices. Some bitter sting arises time to time. 6,2:The finish leaves an impression of tasty wood and a veil of tobacco, a possible invitation to Cohiba."
"06.2024 Erster Eindruck: lieblich, fruchtig, weich, vanillig – sehr angenehm Nase: von allem etwas: gelbe Frucht, Gewürze, Vanille, Honig, Holz – gefällt mir sehr gut Gaumen: Fortsetzung der Nase, jedoch mit einem schönen Kontrast durch gut dosierte Aromen von Tabak, Holz, Gewürzen Abgang: mittel bis lang, angenehm, hier dominieren die holzigen Aromen und ein ganz leichter Anflug von Bitter, der aber gut dazu passt Gesamteindruck: sehr rund, keine Ausreisser-Aromen, gut eingebundener Alkohol, in Mixern wahrscheinlich unauffällig"
