    "Quite acidic, musty and unfortunately not my cup of tea. There's clearly better rums from Mauritius ... Probably the worst I had so far from Mauritius in the glass. Too bad"

    "Part of the tasting at the estate. This one is probably the best out of the whole set that I tried due to the reasonable 50% of strength, a maximum allowed on Mauritius. It is punchy with floral, earthy and fermentation notes. Some honey like sweetness."

    "Interessanter frischer Agricole, eignet sich auch hervorragend für einen „besonderen“ Mojito"
