     Nice nose, you can literally smell the old bourbon barrel in the cellar of a tropical wooden colonial house, but nothing more. A disappointment on the palate. Flat, ordinary. Unfortunately, the highest of feelings that the local bar has to offer - also in terms of the glass. Available in the supermarket for around 35 EUR. Bar price? I'll be surprised ... Supplement: Bar price ended up being almost 5 EUR for 4 cl, which this rum is definitely not worth. But I found it today in a liquor store as a shelf warmer for about 14 EUR/bottle, which is more reasonable.

     This rum is slightly fruity on the nose and palate. You can also taste that it has matured in a bourbon cask. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite suit my taste. I don't like this fruity taste that much.

     Příjemná nevtíravá ovocně květinová vůně s prvky bylinek a eukalyptu. Chuť je na tom podobně. Celkem dost propsaný sud na to, že rum má jen 3 roky. Pro mě je to takový nenáročný pohodový rum. Tohle by mohlo zachutnat i začínajícím rumařům apod. Edit: jemná korekce hodnocení
