    Tried this in a hotel bar with very limited range. Would never have tried it under normal circumstances, cause I had earlier tested the XO and thought it was much too sweet. This one is also too sweet for me, but less than the XO.

    Very sweet and more fruity than the other ones but still not my cup of tea 😊

    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.

    This rum is also too sweet for me. Oliver and Oliver can do better. This rum is slightly better than the XO but less sweet would be better.
