    "This is a rum in the cheaper end of the spectrum. Also a sweet rum, not to sweet and probably a very good starter rum. The nose comes off sweet from honey and molasses and descends into primarily vanilla with a hint of chocolate. The palate is sweet with some roasted banana, vanilla and cherry. There is a bit of creaminess to it. The finish is medium long and oily, sweet and vanilla dominates. "

    "Angenehm zu trinkender, typisch gesüßter Einsteigerrum. In der Nase noch sehr langweilig, bietet er dann aufgrund der Zuckerung am Gaumen ein wenig mehr Profil. Für zwischendurch ganz nett oder als Begleitung zum Bier."

    "Revisiting after more than a year. Initial score 82 downgraded to 75. Overall still very pleasant rum eventhough its sweetened foursquare. Predominant is vanilla with milk chocolate, also a fudge or polish caramel candies called krowka in the taste and nose provides some hints of it too. Overall I think the people who seek sweet rums will love this one. I am a weirdo I like both sweet rums, but also the other side of spectrum such as ester rums such as hampden or monstrosities like paranubes. Revisiting: Direct comparison with 18 Solera from AM. This one is better, more flavourful, but also much sweeter. It does not feel artificial that much but lets say it is overly sweet so I am pulling few points down. Otherwise, really good one."
