    "Typical Barbadian in nose and palate. A very young rum so don't expect too much from it. A pleasant nose and ok semi complex fruity palate with a finish that ends almost before it begins. Price to quality is very good."

    "Used as a light mixer in Pina Colada and Cuba Libre. Super suitable for this, reasonable in price and well available."

    "Nice solid rum. Im. Smell really exciting with nice coconut tones and caramel and vanilla. In the taste then also quite komex for this price. Unfortunately it is slightly burning. A little more ageing in the cask would help here. In any case, the price-performance ratio is very fair and I therefore recommend trying it"
