    "Pas très différent du XV goûté précédemment. Un ron boisé avec un sucre maîtrisé (même si trop présent). Pas de profondeur, pas de complexité, pas de longueur. Pas désagréable pour autant, mais pas pour moi."

    "On the nose restrained but mainly wood in the foreground. In addition, caramel and marzipan notes.In the taste after initial wood notes quickly peppery. Powerful, but also one-dimensional. Inexpensive, sweetened alternative to Mount Gay, although this is clearly better."
