“This rum really knows how to convince. Beautiful and above all pleasant nose consisting of coffee and chocolate. Then really fun on the palate. Goes from dark chocolate and coffee to vanilla and nuts. And above all, not too sweet. Delicious.”

“Nosing is very vanilla forward with orchard fruit, particularly pears. There is also some caramel sweetness. After some time the nose gets much more woody. Initial vanilla bomb with caramel and some chocolate. It gets very thin right after the first wave of flavour and then begins to develop some more interesting flavours of spice and roasted nuts. The thinness is a little off-putting especially considering the richness of everything else. Too bad. After sitting for a while, I will admit that the flavours seem to integrate a little better and the thin impression is lessened. The finish is decent, kind of short with a rather pleasing sweet chocolate and some light barrel notes. Where I live (Vancouver) the price is on the high side so the value isn’t there. Finally, the entry here for this rum claims to be pot still. I can’t see that as being the case.”

“Really intriguing compare to some my other rums. The chocolate and coffee tons are more pronounce than vanilla. The flavor profile hangs for a long time. A slow sipping rum.”
