     Overall I think that all of it are there, but everything’s to weak. The nose fruity and round with aromas of Raisins, vanilla, honey and tobacco. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s fruity, spicy and sweet with flavors of vanilla, honey, raisins, tobacco, oak and caramel.

     Dry, spicy, woody, slightly alcoholic, little sweet, bitter finish. Light red fruit notes (cherry)! Not for sweet rum drinkers...
