    Mmmh, had somehow expected something else. The nose is all liquorice. Brown sugar is added on the palate, but you can really only taste liquorice. I find this rum a little too sweet.

    Leider kein sonderlich guter Batavia arrack Vertreter. Sehr süß und gleichzeitig ist der Alkohol nicht wirklich gut eingebunden... Da gibt's deutlich bessere und generell fehlt hier sämtliche Batavia arrack dna. Wirkt künstlich und gesüßt.

    Très bon rhum

    Very sharp
