    "Nice bottle, rum earns sufficiency, but is to be avoided for a tasting."

    "A slightly balanced and medium-bodied rum. Sweet vanilla roasted aromas with a tangy finish. OK for mixing but too flat on its own. Even in this rather low price segment there are better ones."

    "Tried another experiment with mixing, but this one didn't really convince me either. In my opinion, it's not really convincing on its own. As I said, I mainly bought it as a mixer, but I'm probably a bit spoiled and can no longer pour everything into the CubaLibre."
