    "RumX Advent 19.12.2023 Knuspriger Agricole mit typischen St. James Makern, wenn man es es weiss zumindest 😅 er ist gefällig aber insgesamt ist und wirkt er zu dünn für mich. Abgang ist dafür lecker und hält angenehm lange an."

    "RumX-Adventskalender 19.12.2023 Blind tasting: This rhum looked familiar to me. With <h>, because I thought it was an Agricole from Martinique, namely RX1229. After all, I was exactly right with my estimate of the ABV. 😉"
