Those who enjoy very sweet, liqueur-like rums with vanilla, caramel and chocolate, want something smooth at 40%, and aren’t concerned about added sugar or complexity.

Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: **** Taste: *** Overall: **** ”40% Dominican Republic. 87606 systembolaget (499:-)” Nice and sweet on the nose with vanilla, chocolate and caramel. This translates nice to the palate and a very pleasant sipper.
Prijemna vune a nasladla chut
This rum I would like to try less heavily sweetened. The fruit notes, vanilla, some oak are very pleasant on the nose and in the mouth, but in the end the rum is just too sweet for me.
