    "Nose: Very fruity with slight hints of Jamaican funk. Palate: spicy, peppery. Finish: medium-long, warm and light. I like the nose better than the palate. I raised my original rating from 6.5 to 7.0 because it's not outstanding but it's typical of Jamaica."

    "It's not bad. It drinks well. It can help those who don't know Jamaicans to discover them. For my part, I find it too "light". It clearly lacks watts. The aromas aren't strong enough."

    "A fruity smell, some ester. The taste is quite sweet, somewhat fruity and spicy, the finish is oily."
