Ein sehr süßer Einsteigerrum. Er duftet nach Karamell und Schokolade. Am Gaumen kommen tropische Früchte dazu. Er schmeckt mehr nach Likör als nach Rum, was mir aber gut gefällt. Auch prima zum Dessert geeignet.
If you are into the sweeter rums, this version can certainly be a hit
Er duftet nach Kräuter und schmeckt dann überraschend süss! Fast etwas zu süss! Das ist allerdings Geschmacksache!
Die erste Nase erinnerte an meine Jugend Knusperhäuschen Tee mit Popcorn usw... Viele Röstaromen, Mandel und Popcorn etc, die Süssigkeitenbude auf dem Jahrmarkt wo etwas leicht abgebrannt ist Dann kommt die ganze Wucht des Zuckers am Gaumen die auch noch lange Nachklingt. Ähnlich dem gebrannten Zucker auf der Creme Brulee
