Overly sweetened! Can not be called rum, as it has 35g/l added sugar.

I vave it 9 because I had tasting with salt chocolate. The combination made it so much better. First sip a little and bite small piece of salty chocolate, after the chocolate disolves in mouth drink the rum. This takes the taste to another level!

Ron avec un côté boisé intéressant. On sent bien le finish en fut de cognac. Très dommage qu il ait des ajouts de sucre, car sans cela il aurait été très bien et aurait méritéune bien meilleure note. Néanmoins le seul rhum sucré que je peux continuer à boire sans que cela me rebute.
