    Smells like cheap disinfectant! 🤓

    Honestly...it's has similarities with the disinfectant they use to clean the supermarket carts

    Honestly this was a hard one for me. There is near enough no integration and it feels like a cheap brash methanol tinged spirit, the port is subtle and adds an element of sweetness on the mouth and the nose non descript. I have had worse rums but not many of this style with such good intentions. Zuidam do make some great rums, this in my view is just not one of them

    Very unpleasant odor that reminds me of the SBS Guyana PM. Kind of like olives and solvents. However, the taste is not as strong and rather mild. You can taste the Oloroso finish rather than the rum. Short finish. Not really my cup of tea. Somehow difficult to categorize.
