"Received as a bonus sample from Rhum Attitude, thanks for the fact that you get something like this in a plastic sample when you order high-quality rum. Unfortunately, I have no other opinion about the rum than that it is simply extremely sugary water with rum flavor. Typical extremely sweetened spirit drink. That's why I simply can't give it a good rating."

"I like that they let this one have a higher ABV but it's still not there yet. Still a sweet rum and I would have loved less sweetness and maybe a bit higher ABV."

"Tja eigentlich hätte ich es vorher wissen müssen aber nungut wiedermal ein Zuckerwasser aus dem Hause Riise Fangen wir bei der unnormal dunklen Farbe an, Zuckerkuleur lässt grüßen. In der Nase Karamell, Schokolade, Orange und Alkohol. Im Mund dann ein aufgespritteter Likör. Sehr süß bei hohem Alkohol. Karamell, Schokolade, Orange fast wie ein Weihnachtsgebäck. Abgang mittel, Honig, Schokolade und vor allem Süße. Man hat das Gefühl der Zucker legt sich wie ein Belag auf die Zähne. Zum Backen, Eis essen oder süss flambieren geeignet, zum trinken weniger, zumindest wenn man Rum trinken will."

"The taste is powerful due to the alcohol strength of 55%, but when this settles, the taste is actually elegant with sweet notes of fruits, orange and English caramel."
