    "Un nez écœurant de Carambar, caramel et sucre brûlé, un léger coco si je me concentre. La bouche est douce, très douce. On croirait sucer un Carambar. De la noix de coco en filigrane. Une finale soutenue mais malheureusement on n’échappe pas à ces arômes écœurants. Plus un dessert qu’un rhum. A réserver aux amateurs de sucreries."

    "Very Very sweet „rum“. After the first sip you’ll know they added sugar! Lovely vanilla taste. Only good as a gag🙈 Fruity, woody, but the vanilla is overwelming everything! Oh man… this was one of the first rum I ever tasted."

    "Liquid vanilla extract on crisp Caramel plated Creme Brulee... And somewhere there is also rum in it. I am sure, one could have done this mix with other spirits as well, the added vanilla Caramel sweetness would have worked as well, maybe. It is very intense on the nose, and I usually have issues recognizing vanilla, it's here, and is stays for some time. This drink has added flavours and sugar, but I must confess... It's quite drinkable, like a dark red port, and not as overpowering and artificial as there is in other rum based drinks out there."

    "Krass, wie sehr dieser Rum nach Karamellbonbons schmeckt. Wer die MuhMuh-Bonbons schon mal probiert hat, weiß wie dieser Rum schmeckt. Hier kann man auf jeden Fall von Alleinstellungsmerkmal sprechen. Mir allerdings um Welten zu süß, das mag ich einfach nicht. Weiterhin auch etwas eindimensional, wenn auch Tiefe und Komplexität sicher nicht der Anspruch dieser Abfüllung ist. Hat aber natürlich auch seine Fans."
