    "Finish/aging is very dominat on the nose and palate, but works better (more balanced) than the PX version."

    "Edit: Ja, er hat immer noch die Nase vorne im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder aus dem anderen Fass. Auch im CubaLibre macht er sich besser meiner Meinung nach. Für den Preis sind beide schon sehr gut. Dieser liegt im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder einen Hauch vorne. Hier ist eher der leichte Esterfunk im Vordergrund als der Sherry. Denoch sind beide für den Preis mehr als in Ordnung."

    "Zwar nicht ganz mein Geschmack, aber deutlich besser als die PX Schwesterabfüllung. Zwar immer noch (zu sehr) Sherry forward aber dafür nicht ganz so süß und stimmiger."

    "Einerseits gefällig, andererseits sehr dominante Einschläge vom Süsswein-Fass. Am Gaumen recht adstringierend, fruchtig, erneut dunkle, schwere Früchte, die Komplexität bleibt dafür eher überschaubar. Schöner Rum, dem aber das gewisse Etwas abgeht."
