"Overly sweetened! Can not be called rum, as it has 35g/l added sugar."
"8,2:On the nose, it is round and balanced, smooth, first of all, pleasant smoke is saying hello, as we notice ex bourbon ageing and charred wood with caramel, orange, tobacco, sweet spices mainly, vanilla and nuts then. When aired, cognac finish gives its mark with dryness, as we notice dried fruits, as becomes more woody as before. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is soft, even sweet, but also woody and smoky, we could reply the nose notes with an orange, caramel and tobacco, then there are nuts, vanilla, some spiciness and dried fruits and dry cognac finish with its mark. Pleasantly round and tasty. 8:The finish is quite long, dry with dried fruits, woody/sweet with tannins, orange and ended with tobacco, smoky notes.."
"02.10.2016 - 03.10.2016 A great extended weekend with rum friends. This was a nice event and lots of space between the tables. Only problem was the level of English at some of the exhibitors. Here are the rums we tasted at the event itself, nothing truly unique but we had fun. This is the second half of the tastings. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, fruity, peach, light floral, vanilla. Palate Sweet, wood, roasted, spice, fruity, dried fruit, light caramel, berries. Finish Short to medium, wood, light chocolate, caramel, sweet."
"Cognac kommt schon durch, Kaffee, Schokolade, zur Süße keine Bitterkeit. Mir etwas zu süß, aber kann man gut trinken."
