    Another excellent Grand Arome from Galion! I really like the profile! Super nice fruit paired with marzipan.

    #4543 12.01.2024 Very nice and surprisingly good rum.

    Extremely special rum. Fermented, almost rotten fruit, brine like kimchi, medicinal notes like iodized ointment, plus a subtle acidity... A flavor you really have to like. Unfortunately, it doesn't suit my taste. Sweet, sour and salty at the same time.

    The rum was very exciting for me on the nose and also on the palate, as many aromas interact. Definitely a great Grand Arome from Galion. However, it would overwhelm me for an everyday evening. I would go for something else.
