"Hui... a really extraordinary rum, in the nose, in taste and in general. Who is looking for something extraordinary is right here. I have never drunk a rum like this before. This rum is something for connoisseurs, very complex. I drank the rum pure and felt the full force 😵. Long finish with some sweetness out the back. Even in Ti Punch incredibly complex, not to be compared with the usual brands from the island of Martinique. I think this rum would also be what for the friends of Caroni and Co. what. 🥃"

"A great successful aroma blending red and tropical fruits with indelible markers/glue and varnish. It's round and powerful at the same time. They know how to do everything in Martinique."
