     The good thing about this rum is that it has not been excessively sugared, like many other rums from this category. However, it is not particularly praiseworthy at first sight because of the alcoholic note, but if you give it a little time, you get a wonderfully woody sherry nose. In addition, caramel and some fruit. In the mouth then even the dark flavors dominate, which makes this rum something special.

     8,3:The nose very woody, but a sense of balance is immediately apparent. This woodiness is tinged with caramel and molasses, simple and classic aromas that are not disturbed by a sensation of sweetness or alcohol. The latter is well-integrated, accompanied by a slight solvent aspect that gives an impression of concentration and impresses the aromas well.The nose opens with rounder notes of coconut, the woodiness melting into milk jam perfumed with orange peel and sweet spices (cinnamon). Aeration brings floral notes and then it's the nuts that stand out this time. It's a rather pleasant, well-balanced, mellow but not sweet. Coconut now becomes a constant...Very promising! 7:On the palate, the texture is light, the attack marked above all by a very toasty woodiness that quickly takes hold of the taste buds. The entry is straightforward with the wood leading the way, soon supported by a spices-pepper. Once this rather lively phase is over, the character quickly becomes light and even a little watery. The wood and pepper continue to swarm across the tongue, sprinkling it with smoky notes of molasses and caramel. 7:On the finish, it's the smokiness of very strongly toasted wood that remains, with hints of vanilla. It is quite short. Well, quite a dissapointment later on....

     Well-balanced and soft taste with body and character. A sweetness of caramel and vanilla balanced with peach, cocoa - long and elegant aftertaste with a hint of honey.

     This is a rum that can be rated incorrectly because it is unique in its own way. Initially I rated this rum very low until I found out that it needs to rest for a long while and not only rest standing still. You need to hand warm it and around 25 degrees C. the rum really opens up. The sherry cask and oak is very obvious from nose to finish. The rum was first released in 2011 and its a rum in the cheap end. Price to quality is very good.
