    "Not as fruity as the XO reserve, but still way too sweet for me. A bit creamy but the sweetness kills what could have been good. "

    "Ein gut gemeintes Geschenk. Eine Spirituose auf Rumbasis. Viel zu künstlich und gezuckert. Für mich persönlich kein Rum, zumindest kein ehrlicher. Zugegebenermaßen süffig, aber soll das unbedingt so sein? Für Liebhaber von süßen Likören jedoch geeignet."

    "7,5:On the nose, cinnamon from the beginning... There's also some clove and some vanilla. There's a hint of licorice from the molasses, but it's the cinnamon overpowering. Aeration brings to mind some soda notes, as Cola first, then a spicy cola like a Dr.Pepper. Then the ginger comes in and we think more of a ginger ale. There's always an impression of spicy confectionery, like these pepper and cinnamon chewing gums. 7,5:On the palate, this is thick and sweet rum with the orange zest as the first impression. In the middle of the palate, there's a lot of molasses. Of course, the omnipresent cinnamon on the nose makes a come back, with some fruity notes. 7:The finish is medium, sweet with cinnamon, there is a feeling of a sugar powder left..."

    "The taste is powerful and very full with notes of orange, powdered sugar and tobacco, finishing with a spicy creamy long sweet aftertaste."
