    "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"

    "Sehr unangenehmer Geruch, der mich an den SBS Guyana PM erinnert. Irgendwie wie Oliven und Lösungsmittel. Im Geschmack allerdings nicht so streng und eher mild. Man schmeckt eher das Oloroso Finish als den Rum. Kurzer Abgang. Nicht so meins. Irgendwie schwierig einzuordnen."
