"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."

"This rum is lightly dry and has a long finish. Fruity with spices and it has a herbal touch with honey to it. Very well balanced and complex. A lovely rum and a very good buy in my mind."
