    The wacky Easter calendar day 5 "Oh man " was my first thought when I came into contact with this drop... The nose is not really pleasing Cheap glue mixed with green very green pineapple (could also be green banana 🤣) Uhu Sekundenbab describes it best. On the palate ... briefly shaken some sweetness, some wood ... and ester but not the delicious ester ... a little fruit via banana and pineapple (very little) Not getting warm with it....

    This should be a Rum to generate some discussion, one either likes it or hates it. I never had a Pineapple infused Rum and was quite curious. Smell and taste remind me of a joung higher ester Jamaican, the Pineapple is there but complements this instead of being to forward. I also believe that this one is not sweetened, which helps in my opinion. This is something to sip when one needs some relaxation without stressing mind and senses, it is nice and not overly complex. I believe there might also be some cocktail applications.

    Tag 5 von TheDunderHut's abgefahrenen Osterkalender. Wieder eine sehr spannende Erfahrung dieses Sample blind verkostet zu haben. Von der ersten Nase hat Lösungsmittel überwogen und ich hätte auf einen Hampden getippt. Vom Geschmack habe ich das wieder verworfen. Auf Mhoba wäre ich definitiv nicht gekommen. Genauso wenig habe ich irgendetwas von einer Ananas wahrgenommen. Sehr komisch. Mehr als mittelmäßig finde ich ihn leider nicht. Nach meiner Meinung bilde ich mir auch ein, dass er eine Dosage hat.

    Very intense nose. Esters and solvent. After this is pineapple Taste Intense esters and iodine, then fruitiness. After 3rd or 4th sip fruitiness go to next level even some red fruits show up with lovely sweetness. Finish is super long with fruits, pineapple and some sugar cane It is very flouverfull and intense rum. Something I love, but it is definitely not for everyone. Pineapple is there, but it is in background
