"Ya basic! Very bland and superficial with too much burn for its weight. Hard pass. Wouldn’t even use it as a mixer nowadays…"
"I was rather disappointed with this XO. I had expected far more from it to be honest. Very sweet and fruity with light wood and caramel on the profile."
"Not impressed by this, expected more. Nice and easy to drink, but also forgettable, unfortunately."
"Rhum doux, assez rond avec une pointe fruitée. Léger goût de caramel."
