    "The molasses comes from Dom. Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels between five and eight years before blended and bottled. In my opinion is this an outstanding everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account."

    "This rum is not really a secret tip. It is surprisingly complex with fruity aromas on a toffee-caramel base. The barrel ageing is also very clear. Really great for the price."

    "Probably the best rum in this price segment and one of the best value-for-money rums ever. Nothing more needs to be said. Simply harmonious and round. Most importantly, without excessive sweetness."
