“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”

“8:The nose is both vanilla and sweet fruit. It's quite fresh, which sets it apart from the other more wintry rums in the range. The red fruits are reminiscent of strawberry bubble-gum, then gain in mellowness to join a banana and vanilla marshmallow.On aeration, sweet spices like cinnamon sprinkle the strawberry bubble-gum, which has since embraced a few cherries and blackberries. The nuts are very light and rather white, reminiscent of a delicate nougat. 7,6:The palate is very round and extremely sweet, with the rum literally sticking to the palate. At times, it feels like a sweet punch with lots of vanilla, hazelnuts and thick coconut milk. Finally, there's the AH Riise touch, with its distinctive spicy cola. 7,6:The finish retains the impression of a creamy coconut punch. This one I quite like...”
