“Intensely tart fruit, wood, spices. I like it, independent profile. Still somewhat incisive on the finish. Beautiful structure. Aromatic-intense to demanding, but quite appealing - has rightly found its fans.”

“This is a nicely balanced Labbé and I think the price is pretty good. Well balanced on the nose and intense and complex on the palate. It did need to rest for a good while before all flavours were released. Lightly fruity and I like the nutty touch and the licorice on the finish. The empty glass was really nice after a few hours 😊”

“Ein außergewöhnlicher Rum… an der Nase verbrannter Keksteig, schwere süß-/saure Früchte, Holz, Vanille und Lakritz. Am Gaumen fast die identischen Aromen plus Lakritz und gebrannten Nüssen. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Im Abgang erscheint auch etwas leicht Dreckiges Das ist ein fordernder Rum und nicht unbedingt für Einsteiger geeignet . Ich mag ihn”
