    "Sehr dunkle Farbe. Früchte ( Kirsche und rote Weintrauben), würzig, für 23 Jahre erstaunlicherweise wenig Holz und Honig. Warm, komplex, perfekt geschmolzen. Im Mund dann süß und etwas leichter, was ihn sehr süffig macht. Ein wunderschöner Abgang, winterlich würzig, Honig, getrocknete Früchte. Lang auch noch dazu… Mein erster La Favorite. Schöner Rum. Danke nach Bonn für diesen seltenen Fund."
