    "I got a batch of samples and time to rate them. In general A. H. Riise rums are sweet and this one is no exception. A very sweet and fruity rum with some vanilla and caramel. I usually use these rums to spice up my icecream 😊"

    "This rum is very sweet and tastes somewhat artificial, reminiscent of Dr. Oetker Rum Aroma. When retesting, the artificial aroma was almost non-existent, which significantly enhances the rum."
