    "Verkostet auf der "Pueblo del ron" und gleich das erste Highlight. Rund, süffig, fruchtig - die Inkarnation von Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft, wie man ihn sich vorstellt."

    "Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Hier ein schöner Cadenhead's. Nase ist überwiegend kräuterig, Minze sticht hier hervor. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr viele Kräuter, außerdem ist er sehr würzig und auch Zimt ist erkennbar."

    "Verkostet am 2. German Armagnac Festival. Vorab Super wars. Zum Rum selber, leckeres Teil, was Catawiki wieder dabei hatte. Schön ausgewogen und ein schönes Aromen zusammen Spiel. Hat mit sehr gut geschmeckt. Soweit ich das noch beurteilen kann."
