"Not really my cup of tea. Very sweet and fruity with some wood. Very good in mixers though and I also used it for baking as well (Chocolate Rum Raisin Cake)."

"Ein ganz normaler Durchschnittsrum der aber gut die Kehle runter geht. Kann man gut pur genießen oder aber auch für Cocktails zum mixen. Nichts besonderes aber auch kein Rum von dem ich nicht abraten würde."
