    "This is definitely a good rum for beginners. A bit too sweet for me, but still nicely balanced and an easy sipper. The nose is sweet with vanilla and chocolate. The palate is sweet and fruity with spices and caramel. Kind of a smooth rum. The finish is medium and sweet with vanilla. "

    "out of the bunch of the super popular spiced rums, I guess I like this best (way better than Don Papa). it gives strong Bananabread vibes that are interesting and don't taste too chemical like with Don Papa."

    "Very sweet rum. As I've read, they put tropical fruits in the distillate, which makes it extremely sweet. This is not a rum for me, but could be an entrance-rum for someone unfamiliar. It has a sweet nose and heavy notes of banana, vanilla and caramel. Updated with picture from the same tasting"
