    "Spahns Jamaica Rum. Wäre unser damaliger Gesundheitsministet nur annähernd so fähig gewesen wie dieser Rum, dann wäre uns viel erspart geblieben :-) In der Nase jedenfalls für mich nur Ester zu riechen. Am Gaumen kommen dann noch Früchte und Rotweon hinzu."

    "High Ester mit so einem Finish passt sehr gut zusammen! Könnte ein New Yarmouth sein!"

    "Probiert auf dem 12. GRF: Rotweinfinish sehr dominant, aus der Erinnerung würde ich auf einen Hampden tippen."

    "Von der Nase würde ich auf einen DOK tippen. Aber es kommt ein komischer Geruch noch hinzu, auf den ich gerade nicht komme. Denke er war zu lang im Fass. Anfangs hat er ein Funk, aber nur kurz, dann überwiegt das säuerliche. Ist nicht mein Fall. Für den Preis eigentlich super."
