„Wonderfully fresh grassy notes meet fruit, nougat sweetness and spice. Thanks to the reduced strength almost to be called easy sipper, but this would not quite do justice to the rum, because the distillate remains aromatically alive and knows to show diverse new nuances. A very successful rum.“

„Very elegant and pleasant rum, this one..the nose is very fruity, with peaches upfront, a touch of floral and herbal and some light spices to it..the wood is just a hint in the background. The palate il a little bit sweeter, with those peaches that become to me as syrup-y. As time goes by, the wood influence is more present, giving a spicier rum. I really would have taste this one in comparison with the 1995, but it took me almost 2 hours to prepare the samples xD..guess I’ll do it another time :D“
