    "Minimal besser wie der 15er aber haut mich jetzt auch nicht um. Auch hier wirkt das ganze für mich wieder leicht rauchig, malzig & leicht torfig, hier schon speckig. Außerdem etwas süßer wie der 15er, aber auch wieder eher dünn und verwässert wirkend."

    "With a medium to long finish it still manages to surprise. Fruity with oak and a lightly smoky touch. Price to quality is very good. "

    "Quite short and one-sided. Really only vanilla and caramel paired with sweetness. Too little complexity for me personally"

    "Got the rum as a free sample from Rum&Co. You can drink it, but you don't have to buy it. I think that sums it up quite well. Nothing about the rum is annoying, but nothing really sticks in your mind either."
