    A nice full bodied rum with a nice % giving it a nice balance. Very nice indeed.

    Great rum, the alcohol is perfectly integrated. The rum is really fun.

    Für einen MG ausgesprochen vollmundig, fast schwer auf der Zunge, aber in einem sehr positiven Sinne. Eine schöne, fast "scotchige" Holz-Salz-Torf-Note mit gerade ausreichender Süße und hintergründiger, schwacher Frichtigkeit. Außergewöhnlich und richtig gut.

    Completely contrary to expectations - very round nose with lots of fruit, honey, toffee and herbal notes. The whole is complemented by some chocolate and vanilla. A little smokier in the mouth, now with a lot of almond influence, but always herbal and fruity. The finish is also wonderful, delivering more chocolate in places, but also strong menthol and smoke. The 48% is within reason and offers intense aromas. Compared to the Andean Oak, the nose is a little weaker, but the mouth experience is better.
