    "Pleasant starter. Lots of dried plum and other dried fruits. Generally a very nice woody influence. Unfortunately a little too much sweetness for me. A very nice transitional rum to move from the totally sweet starters to the dry variants"

    "Not really something that I found fancy. It is very south American in profile with a lot of cocoa. The nose has some complexities of tobacco and paint, but all of that is gone on the tongue. Finishes a bit bitter"

    "Woody with coffee and caramel. Apple perhaps. On the palate, an immediate sensation of sweet dark chocolate. Not very flattering. Alcohol very present despite the reduction. I had a very negative opinion initially because it's too sweet for me, but in the end it's not so bad and can be enjoyed. Somewhere between rum and ron."
