    "Oh boy, at this point I have barely anything to say. There is an army of these types of rum. And they are completely lost in me. Maybe they really excel with cigars but otherwise this is expensive sweetened rum I don't care too much for..."

    "Time to finish up 1423's "24 days of Christmas". The rum from day 23, is from Cartavio. I find to have a nose of dried fruit and some wood. In the notes I found a well rounded sweetness, with hints of vanilla and caramel, and a wood and spicy finish."

    "Nose: very Spanish. Caramel and burnt sugar. Not unpleasant per se. Hint of bitterness. Taste: peppery, more bitterness. Bitter orange. American oak. Not too sweet. Short finish. Better than expected."

    "24 Days of Rum, Blue Edition, Day 23 Fruity, fresh, slightly pleasant nose ... all good. On the palate, mainly wood and a disturbing aroma that I can't define. The finish leaves a slightly metallic impression and an itch on the palate. This is not my kind of rum at all."
