    "Tip: please give the rum at least an hour to acclimatize and show its full potential.on the nose an absolute explosion, I think I've never smelled something more intense🤣 passion fruit, mint, freshly cut grass, granny smith apples, vanilla marshmallows, a good load of ester and funk.... fantastic!in the taste it then completely slays you here caution is called for... if you go for it but another explosion of passion fruit, molasses, grass and nutmeg and green pepper. super exciting!🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥 certainly makes a gigantic daiquiri that catapults you to the moon!☢️🚀🇯🇲By the way, this is probably one of the best daiquiris you can make!🤤😜 incredibly complex and delicious!"

    "Roller coaster ride of the rums. This is like a hit in the face with an ester drenched fist right between the eyes."

    "#4273 30.09.2023 This is a really nice DOK actually and I think the price is pretty good. Fresh and fruity with esters and glue notes. The palate is dry and fruity and warms you pretty well. The finish is very long and warm with some dried fruit. Overall OK balance between the flavours. ABV could have been integrated a bit better."
