    "With a medium long finish you get a pretty good rum considering the price tag. The Agricole notes are there as well as light fruit and spices. I rally like the dry oily feel on the palate."

    "Mais quelle jolie surprise !!! Un rhum qui ne paye pas de mine et m'a étonné par tous ses aspects. Du nez : puissant, boisé avec un peu de fruit - Au palais : complexe, chaud et poivré, presque piquant. Il m'oblige à y retourner plusieurs fois pour en apprécier les nuances, découvrant des touches de réglisse et de gingembre. Une dégustation inattendue qui oblige à davantage d'attention que la moyenne... bref, j'aime !"

    "Un rhum agricole étonnement complexe pour le prix. Au nez les fruits exotiques sont déjà présents, en bouche on a un mélange réglisse/fruits exotiques étonnant qui tire vers la réglisse en fin de bouche. Très bon rapport qualité prix"
