    A very interesting rum and not at all comparable to its brother rx20557. on the palate with a very creamy attack, which spreads pleasantly warming in the mouth. very flattering. not complex at all. i have a whimsical aroma of candied peach fruits in a wooden cup, garnished with some speculoos and something else. interestingly drinkable, although the alcohol does come through strongly.

    Whoever created this or chose the barrel... this is nothing... On the nose I have such a strange fruit and plant aroma à la papaya/agave juice... on the palate initially burnt caramel... then very quickly alcoholically sharp before some artificial note appears that I can't really assign. The finish is medium-long bitter roasted like the whole rum 😖

    Mhhh, smells somehow like salty chocolate peanuts and a little caramel. Taste dark cocoa with some honey. Quite alcoholic and bitter on the finish. The finish is unspectacular, slightly horsey on the tongue, after 2 minutes you feel like your mouth is numb after the dentist. I.O. But sample is enough

    Tja leider ebenso genauso gut/schlecht wie der andere von Spirit Gallery den ich vorher im Glas hatte. Mehr als der aufgerufene Preis hätte man wohl auch nie verlangen dürfen. Funktioniert für mich weder pur noch als Mixer.
