    #5784 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is a very well balanced rum in my mind. Wood and ABV are in very good balance. Fruits, spice and a light mint note only completes the overall yumminess.

    Incredibly sweet for unsweetened rum
