    "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. "

    "Hatte den Rum als Gratis Sample von Rum&Co bekommen. Kann man trinken, muss man aber nicht kaufen. Denke das trifft es ganz gut. Nichts an dem Rum stört, aber es bleibt auch nichts wirklich im Gedächtnis."
