“Rum piacevole, abbastanza dolce con un forte aroma di melassa e agrumi. Per essere un rum fatto per piacere ai neofiti è prodotto con capacità e impegno. È un distillato che può essere utile come trampolino di lancio verso rum più complessi.”

“Un rhum du Guatemala qui se laisse bien boire. Le nez offre des arômes de fleurs qui changent un peu de ce qu’on trouve dans le paysage hispanique. On a ce côté mielleux et caramélisé présent, mais aussi des épices, un léger boisé et des fruits secs. On retrouve en bouche le sucre, le caramel, les épices douces sur la vanille et la réglisse, un boisé légèrement rôti, les fruits secs (raisin) et une touche de notes terreuses et florales. Ces dernières notes rehaussent encore une fois le niveau du spiritueux. L’alcool n’est pas perceptible. La finale est relativement courte. Les arômes boisés et rôties sont plus persistants, donnant plus de chaleur au profil. La vanille et les fruits secs sont toujours là, suivis par cet arôme terreux et floral. Dans l’ensemble, si le côté moelleux et doux des rhums hispaniques ressort, les notes florales font la différence par rapport à d’autres cuvées du genre.”

“This is a very light yet delicate rum tha I'd classify as a good rum for starters. If you like Botran this one is a must try because it lines up pretty well with the Botran line of rums. With a bit more proof i think this one would have been a winner, but still a very good rum at the price tag.”
