    Another great ester bomb from Jamaica. Very delicious rum. The bouquet in the nose is amazing! The alcohol could be integrated better. Normally i would give a 84 rating, but the original price per value was excellent, so +2!

    Richtige Fruchtbombe. Tolle Nase. Mund zieht sich zusammen beim trinken. Sehr gut, bräuchte jedoch keine Flasche.

    Bon rum jamaïcain esterisé. C'est rigolo à l'aveugle j'aurais dit Hampden.

    Awesome super fruity ester bomb. Reminiscent of a high-ester WP. But also somewhat reminiscent of LROK The Younger, only this one is a little rounder and less perfumed. It's crazy that it was once available for 50€...
