"Oh well, unfortunately this is out of line - downwards. Quite volatile on the nose and smelling like lemonade syrup, artificially bitter-sweet on the palate. I wouldn't have recognized it blindly as a rum from Trinidad. Doesn't meet my expectations at all, so I'm glad I didn't buy a bottle. Thank you, zabo, for the sample."
"First impression of sampling. Quite nice, but not a great runaway to the top. Alcohol well integrated and quite drinkable due to the 58%. More will follow in peace. Well, after tasting it again, I don't think it's that bad. Stick to my first impression, it tastes good."
"Leaning towards a classic Spanish style on the nose. Wood, vanilla and caramel. Also a hint of coconuts and artificial (!) fruit notes. Very sweet on the palate with the same artificial fruit notes from the the nose. There is also plenty of wood and some dryness. Easy to drink, but als noticeable watered down. Not bad, but not my cup of tea - äh rum ;)"
"Le nez m'est d'abord apparu fruité (fraise notamment). Puis le bois. Quelques temps après, c'est le caramel qui occupe le terrain. Un caramel légèrement brûlé. En bouche, l'alcool est mordant et insuffisamment intégré. Le bois domine. Le caramel est toujours là. C'est sucré et gourmand. Sympa mais l'alcool est trop présent pour moi.. Édit : un goutte d'eau lui amène plus de rondeur et atténue la présence de l'alcool. Je pense que cette bouteille aurait gagnée à être réduite de quelques degrés encore."
