„This is a hard to judge rum. There's nothing wrong there but there's also nothing great or exciting. I can see it working in cocktails and at the price it could easily be restocked. Just don't expect the world.“

„Sorprendenti note di cioccolato, caffè e caramello, fa compagnia. Riassaggiato nella nuova bottiglia e dopo anni riesce ancora a sorprendere con le sue note calde tipiche dominicane seguite però poi da una secchezza legnosa(di botte/sughero/pelle/muffa) che trovo unica! Rapporto qualità/prezzo eccellente“

„Fande that he tasted better in the Dominican Republic. At home he has somehow lost the flow. In the PinaColada but it is my favorite. Probably because I then get every time vacation flashbacks.“

„Sweet an inoffensive nose. Peach and honey with some wood and vanilla. Ok but not exciting. On the mouth everything is a let down, thin, watery and no depth at all. Wood and some brown or demera sugar. Finish has some ginger and a dry undertone. Short and unmemerable. Mixed maybe an average rum, sipped or anything similar don’t even bother“

„Strong taste of caramel, with spice in the background that creeps out to the longer finish. Very woody. Too woody and spicy for me, I was hoping the sweetness would prevail more. I can imagine it really working in a cocktail.“

„A cocktail rum from the Dominican that's very flexible , wouldn't really try neat but excellent in a cheap old fashioned or a Hemingway .“
