    "Angenehmer Einsteiger. Viel dörrpflaume und auch andere trockenfrüchte. Generell ein sehr schöner Holzeinfluss. Leider für mich ein wenig zu viel süße. Ein sehr schöner Übergangsrum um von den total süßen Einsteigern sich an die trockenen Varianten heranzutasten"

    "Boisé complété de café, caramel. De la pomme peut-être En bouche, immédiatement une sensation de chocolat noir sucré. Un peu flatteur. Alcool très présent malgré la réduction. J'avais un avis très négatif initialement car c'est trop sucré pour moi mais finalement ce n'est pas si mauvais et ça peut plaire. Entre rhum et ron."

    "Very nice, round rum. I particularly like the grapefruit note. But overall much too sweet compared to the xo!"
