    "Spicy, fruity ,acidic furry and intense. Has somehow something of kiwi with roasted peanut butter, plus lots of wood, spices like nutmeg and red pepper, slightly smoky and after fermented tropical fruit. Nice monymusk, especially the nose is really fun! Only overall a little too acidic and the alcohol could be a little better integrated."

    "#4287 07.10.2023 this was a 7 hour long event with 3 friends and it was a nice day. A totally different rum from the previous ones. Fresh with a heavier profile. Fruity with nice esters and roasted wood. The palate is medium dry, warm/spicy with fruit and some varnish. The finish is long and dry with a spicy touch."

    "In der Nase schön würzig mit feinem Esternoten. Im Mund dann sehr würzig mit Tabak und Holznoten. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden im Abgang dann sogar schokoladig. Macht Spaß aber preislich natürlich ne Hausnummer."
