    "Retasting at Romdeluxe. Had a relaxing online tasting yesterday and it had a vide spread between low and high end rums. A very well balanced rum. Price to quality is very good."

    "Mir persönlich viel zu viel Sherry Einfluss der den Rum komplett dominiert und ihn Recht anstrengend sauer, bitter und sĂŒĂŸ macht... Kein Wunder nach 16 Monate finish in oloroso & px FĂ€ssern! Muss nicht sein..."

    "Un profil qui n’est pas trĂšs convaincant. Le nez est trĂšs liquoreux, avec beaucoup de notes de raisins et d’influence du fĂ»t de sherry. La noix de coco, le sucre brĂ»lĂ©, le caramel et la vanille n’arrangent rien quant au taux de diabĂšte. En bouche, c’est un rhum assez contraste qui s’offre Ă  nous : lĂ©ger dans les arĂŽmes, mais plutĂŽt dense en termes de texture. Le sherry va de pair avec les raisins. On retrouve aussi le caramel, un cĂŽtĂ© vanillĂ© et pimentĂ© ainsi qu’un lĂ©ger boisĂ©. Rien de rĂ©volutionnaire dans tout cela. La finale est un peu plus vive et longue qu’espĂ©rĂ©e, attisĂ©e par l’amertume, le poivre, la rĂ©sine et le sucre brĂ»lĂ©. LĂ  oĂč le Gran Reserva de Rum Nation avait un peu de caractĂšre avec ses notes florales, ce XO cĂ©lĂšbre plutĂŽt mal le 20Ăšme anniversaire de son embouteilleur, en passant totalement dans l’oubli et les mĂ©andres des rhums hispaniques."

    "Sweet and pleasant taste, almost nutty with a touch of honey, it is persistent and extremely delicate"
