    This is a rum in the lower end of the price scale and it still performs pretty well. Fruity and sweet with some light roasted wood and spices. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is nice with some tobacco and chocolate.

    #keinprofi Dieser Rum ist bestimmt besser, als ich ihn bewertet habe. Ich mag den stechenden Geruch ebensowenig wie die leicht rauchige Note. Gut, dass beides im Geschmack weniger hervortritt, als in der Nase. Interessant ist die pfeffrige Schärfe, die dieser Rum mitbringt. In meiner limitierten Erfahrung habe ich auch schon höhere Alkoholgehalte im Glas gehabt, die sanfter waren.

    Tolle Nase, überraschenderweise mit einer für spanischen Rum deutlichen Klebstoffnote.

    Nein ich rieche an diesem Rum nicht wirklich gerne, das kann man nicht gerade sagen. In der Nase relativ einseitig überlagert mit Noten von künstlicher Zitrus, medizinischer Desinfektion und viel Säure. Das alles sticht eher und auch wenn es nach einer gewissen Zeit wesentlich angenehmer wird, rettet das letztendlich nicht den sehr unrunden Eindruck Im Mund war ich dann positiv überrascht. Angenehm Süß, geschmeidig und nicht mehr wirklich aufdringlich. Die Frucht hat immer noch die Überhand, insgesamt wirkt jedoch alles viel ausgewogener. Was dennoch bleibt ist die recht künstliche Zitrusnote
