"This is definitely a rum for the fan base of A. H. Riise. Sweet like the usual rums from this company. The nose is sweet and fruity with a tad of smoke and mint. The palate is very sweet and the fruitiness continues from the nose. Creamy charred mint and vanilla. The finish is short to medium long and sweet with orange and oak. A tad too sweet for me but it will probebly have a huge fan base out there. " - 7.2/10

"7,5:On the nose, there's a certain heaviness of very ripe fruit at first. But the profile soon becomes rather light, though gently spicy. Exotic wood and vanilla show signs of opening up and amplitude, then the rum reveals all its love of confectionery, with fruity bubble-gum and marshmallow.With aeration, the woodiness now seems sweet, but still exotic because it's also spicy. The rum is tart and powdery, like candy. 7,2:On the palate, the rum is thick and syrupy, with a slightly creamy vanilla/strawberry sweetness. The spices, which have been discreet until now, suddenly heat up the palate to the point of stinging the tongue. Caramel then takes the edge off. 7:On the finish, there's a sweet little lemon candy and a slight burnt touch, like a memory of that spicy phase on the palate..." - 7.2/10

"Sehr süß, erinnert mich an billigen roten Früchtetee oder künstliche Sisha-Aromen, außerdem diskrete Pfeiffen-Noten." - 5.8/10
