    "Johannes Blind-Tasting-Set Nr. 7: Der Rum benötigt Zeit im Glas…dann entfaltet er ein schönes Aroma mit Trockenfrüchten, Würze und Holz. Und alles im schönen ausgewogenen Wechselspiel.. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Gelungener Sipper"

    "Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No.7 Nase rieche ich erstmal nur Wein /Portwein oder sowas ...sehr viel Traube und Pfeffer . Etwas Florales hat er auch ... leichte Süße etwas Kirsche . Am Gaumen erstmal ist anzumerken das der Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden ist... Hier auch viel Wein oder Port (eventuell Finish) Trauben und Pflaume hier sehr im Fokus. Etwas Bitterkeit und Schokolade. Schwierig denke dennoch ein Agricole. Leider überhaupt nicht mein Geschmack das ganze , wenn es deshalb kein schlechter Rum ist."

    "This is a rather boring rum. The cedar tree is probably the nicest and most interesting feature. A bit boring is really the feature. Sugar and raisins, burned sugar. No one needs this, but it is not as good as foursquare"

    "Das Madeira Weinfass ist schon dominant, aber insgesamt gefällt er mir sehr gut."
