„This rum is kind of thin/flat and lacks complexity, but I think it's a good beginner rum. The nose is fruity with oak and vanilla. The palate is fruity and the finish in whisky barrels is clear in the taste. The oak is present and so is smoke and vanilla. The finish is medium and spicy with oak/smoke.“

„Good for Mixing, nice as a cuba libre 👌🏻 A bit to sweet for what I like (maybe sugar was added!?) This was diluted for sure, no power, complexity…“

„Erinnert beim ersten Schluck an einen hochestrigen Jamaica-Rum, da sehr süß. Man schmeckt die Süßung leider deutlich heraus. Trotzdem ein runder, mittelschwerer Rum mit viel Frucht. Der Abgang ist leider etwas sprittig und fast bitter. Preis-Leistung passt aber auf jeden Fall!“

„Not too sweet, woody flavors and a bit roasted. Also has a smokey touch in the finish. Not bad for what it costs.“

„Vanille, Trauben, Karamell, ein Hauch Schoko und eine unpassend starke Alkoholnote. Die Nase ist recht generisch aber nicht schlecht. Ein Hauch Cuba und viel Holz samt Politur. Der scharfe Alkohol trübt dann auch leider den recht flachen und unkomplexen Geschmack. Hier ist nichts los ausser den Noten aus der Nase, drapiert auf dünnem aber starken Alkohol. Gemixt dann überraschend gut - klasse Cuba Libre für alle denen Havana & Co. zu penetrant in ihrem Charakter sind. Fur mich keine Pulle die man im Regal braucht.“

„Very cheap and very decent entry level rum. Very good as a mixer, enjoyable pure but nothing remarkable. Since the low price I would actually buy it again if I'm in need for a mixer at home.“

„Gutes Beispiel dafür, warum die DomRep in der Rum-Welt eine so schlechte Reputation genießt. Sehr eindimensional und uninteressant, dazu mit einer künstlichen Süße und einer Bitternote im Abgang. Bestenfalls für Tiramisu geeignet.“
