“Wow, this is almost sugar water with fruit taste 😊 I'd classify this as a good beginner rum or a dessert rum. I'm pretty sure you can use it for baking as well.”

“The taste offers lovely soft and gentle notes of matured sweet oak, combined with tropical fruits and sultanas. The finish is deep with sweet tannins and caramelized honey.”

“Much too sweet, why do you have to add so much sugar here. For me disappointing as a fan A.H. Rise. They don't need this. Too bad”

“Aaah, das riecht schon pappsüß. Inklusive Marshmallownote und Rosinen-Hefezopf. Dahinter ein Potpourri aus Früchten. Vollmilchschokolade kommt nach etwas Luft auch noch dazu. Schlieren wie 'ne Nacktschneckenspur. Wie erwartet Zucker pur. Und hat trotzdem noch alkoholische Schärfe. Vielleicht sind's auch Gewürze. Es säuft im Zucker ab. Zuckerrohrsaftbasis und Süßweinfaß kann man sagen, redet sich damit aber raus. Ist mehr so Franzbrötchenkruste auf Osterbrot getropft. Rosine in Zucker. Ich werd's nie verstehen wie man sich sowas hinter's Visier dübeln und dann was von 'Aromen' fabulieren kann. Als Likör würde ich dem Ding sogar 'ne Chance geben - aber das? Das ist frech. Himmel. Und dann ist der Abgang noch nicht mal existent. Flutsch und weg.”

“Velice sladký rum. Ani nevím jestli jej zařadit vůbec mezi rumy. Každopádně skvělý pro začátečníky. Má jen jedno ale. Všechny chutnají dost stejně jak i A.H.riise.😁”

“A little more complex than I thought. Very balanced and surprising at every turn. First Brazilian production I've tried and it's pretty distinguishable. Notes of nuts and raisins are very strong but I like them a lot. The nose doesn't set you up for much but the taste is very fun and fresh.”
