How does this rum taste?
Most fans praise its smooth sweetness, nutty dried-fruit notes and easy drinkability. Critics call it overly sweet, low in complexity and pricey. Overall seen as a solid, sugary crowd-pleaser.
If you like Diplomatico-style sweet rums or Dos Maderas 5+5, this will feel familiar—just know it leans heavily on sugar and smoothness rather than depth.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, dry-rum lovers, or enthusiasts seeking high complexity, intensity or value-for-money for serious neat sipping.

Wonderful rum
24DoR2024 Another very sweet sample The sugar just wasted the time in the barrel
Sample no.9 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. The nose is very inviting with notes of sweet caramel, chocolate and dried raisins. Palate is round and nice with tropical fruits, caramel and raisins. Outstanding rum!
Stechender Alkohol in der Nase. Sehr süß im Geschmack, da stark nachgezuckert. Abgang mit einem Nichts. Gepantschter Mist. Zum Glück hatte ich nur eine Probe.
