    "Fruitiness and sweetness is way too dominant and too much for me to enjoy. I wouldn't classify this as a rum. "

    "6,2:The first nose reveals a hint of heavy rum (overripe banana), but this remains fairly stealthy, as vanilla and orange quickly assert themselves, enhanced by a large pinch of cinnamon. The cinnamon's powdery aspect really comes to the fore, all the more so as pepper and nutmeg come to the fore. The sugar is very present, giving us a kind of spicy candy.We return to the orange zest when we shake the rum. This gives a slightly drier impression that tries to bring a little balance before the cinnamon melted into the vanilla makes a comeback. The spicy ambience continues with ginger and cardamom, reminiscent of the little gingerbread men we eat during the holidays. 6:The vanilla-orange-cinnamon trio that leads the way on the palate is definitely reminiscent of Christmas. It's a tropical Christmas, and a particularly West Indian one at that, since these aromas are reminiscent of the famous schrubb prepared in the islands for this occasion. 5,5:The finish with thick sugar of an orange liqueur takes over, depositing this citrus flavor on the palate for a long time to come."

    "Tasted this one before the EU directive was changed (pre 2020), when it was til "rum". It has a candy-like sweetness, with vanilla and toffee in the nose, and also in the notes; toffee, vanilla and white tea. Not really my style"

    "Smelling and tasting highly unauthentic; very strong association to cinnamon aroma."
