"Interesting wood finish. I get a lot of cherries/sour cherries (maybe some Haribo Cherries too). The fruits and the wood is battling but keep each other in check. Some spices come through. A menthol freshness. Interesting and well made. Tasted it again on Christmas 2022. New packaging, which looks more retro than the old one. Still impressed. Lots of oak. Cognac. Good"

"The uncommon finish is quite noticeable both on the nose and the palate with spicy and floral influences. The barrel has really done some work here as I find the spirit quite woody for a New Grove. The taste is elevated further by strong coffee, roasted nuts, sweet cherries and wet soil notes. For me personally the experience is a little too sweet and too diluted."

"A rum with a lot of wood, followed by caramel, spices and toasty nut chocolate. Fruit (red fruit) also, but went with me compared to the other notes rather under or rather remains in the background. In the mouth then sharp with spices and wood. Now clearer fruit, caramel and nut chocolate are also found. Very round thing!"

"Am Anfang fast etwas dünn kommt schnell die typische Orangen/Minz-Note mit deutlichem adstringierenden, leicht bitteren Fasseinfluss. Vielen Dank an Frank für das Sample!"
