    "Extremely aromatic nose. Interesting mixture of perfume and cheese feet. 😳On the palate, the cheese note disappears and an exciting composition of perfume and smoke appears. Insider tip for 'ne really horny Bloody Mary 🤫"

    "This is the biggest Haitian stinker I know. And he's absolutely fabulous. Salty meat, olives, fruit and cheese! It's similar in flavour, and there's an Islay whisky spiciness. You can either love this or hate it. I definitely love it, but maybe my friend calls it goat piss 😁"

    "Interessanter Rum… bringt eine spannende Dynamik mit um in Cocktails zu glänzen. Ziemlich Rauchig mit einer Käse-Umami Note, echt speziell. Auch Speck ist zu finden. Nicht ganz was man sich bei Rum wünscht, kann man aber gut mal probieren 😊"

    "wtf?! completely different from the previous Rocher for me. the nose is brutally smoky, almost like smoked bacon & BBQ sauce, lots of tropical fruits, especially banana, plus some cheese, and a full plate of matching fruits such as walnut, apricot, figs and grapes, as well as olives. the taste is then again bacony and smoky but also floral and slightly rose, bergamot, lime peel, fig and a subtle smokiness and saltiness. very very cool! rarely drunk something that tastes so perfumed! Also makes really good rhum martinis!"
