    "Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club. It’s OK, but nothing more. Don’t know if there’s any added sugar, but there’s a certain sweetness. Could maybe be something for those who want to taste something less sweet than DRE or Zacapa 23."

    "I got this sample some time ago from RumRatings. Unspectacular rum to me… The alcohol is well notable and for 38% not integrated well. In my opinion sugar was added too! Pleasant to drink. Blind could be also a Brandy."

    "Encore un produit qui ne sert pas la cause du rhum. Je n'ai pas vérifié mais je pense que ce rhum est sucré artificiellement et coloré. Aucun intérêt. Du sirop de caramel. De la vanille. Un vague goût de bois. Sans intérêt."
