Caramel and vanilla lead with a standout popcorn nose; the palate is creamy and toffee-rich. Popular and easy to drink, though some note excessive sweetness and occasional artificial tones.

    Another sweet release. This one has a light nuttiness to it and some wood. A very light and easy drinkable rum that should be really good for beginners.

    Musste hier um einiges nach unten korrigieren. Er schmeckt einfach nur künstlich. Nachdem ich ihn damals nur aus der Erinnerung heraus bewertet habe, muss ich ihn einfach herunterstufen. Liegt wohl auch daran, dass ich in letzter Zeit richtig gute samples bekommen habe. Ich nehm ihn jetzt nur noch um ihn in den Latte Macchiato oder Ristretto zu schütten um Zucker zu sparen. Nochmal runter gesetzt um der Empfehlung vom die des Tages zu entgehen

    Einer der besseren von A.H. Riise. typisch süß mit Karamell- und Rosinennoten. Mir gefällt außerdem der leicht holzige Nussgeschmack. Im Abgang bleibt eine angenehme Schärfe zurück. Die Probe hat ihren Zweck erfüllt, Flasche ist bestellt.

    Der Geruch ist Riise typisch. Ich würde fast behaupten Riise riecht man bei jedem Blind Tasting raus. Bisher alle recht ähnlich. Farbe golden, der Geruch nach Süße, Gewürzen und Karamell aber auch künstlich. Geschmack sehr süß und leider auch künstlich.
