To Oliver & Oliver
"It seems to be extremely sweetened! This sticky sweetness masks almost all the flavors... only roasted nuts and alcohol are still perceptible... I could imagine it in mulled wine"
"Ordentlich Zucker drin. Wenig Charakter. Hab ihn mit anderen minderwertigen Rum Verschnitten um Cocktails für Gäste zu machen."
"Sweet, sooovsweet. I bet at least 60grams/liter"
"Al naso caffè, liquirizia, melassa. Gusto tipico solera di cioccolato, caffè, caramello e molto dolce, corposo e alcolico, con note lontane speziate, finale medio e intenso"
