"Ein genialer Alltagsrum, mit viel Frucht (Ester) und Schokolade. Etwas Karamell, Toast und Gewürze gibt es dazu, was das Ganze abrundet. Einige Gemeinsamkeiten gibt es mit Barbados, Jamaika und Guyana. Sehr lecker, trifft genau meinen Geschmack! Im Mund könnte es noch ein bisschen besser sein, aber die Nase ist genial! Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob man diesen Rum noch bekommt, aber der Preis war damals sehr gut."

"Slightly smoky vanilla-pineapple flavors. Once again a typical representative of the "goes well with dark chocolate" category."
