“Had 6cl of it after a better dinner at a local restaurant. It’s long time ago since I tasted the old 12yo with 35gpl sugar, but I’m pretty sure I like this new one with 6gpl sugar better. Overall an pleasant well balanced rum with a certain complexity.”

“Top zur Zigarre, pur aufgrund des niedrigen Alkoholgehaltes etwas flach. Edit: Jetzt auch nochmal alleinstehend probiert. Ein einfacher und gefälliger Rum der dabei aber nicht langweilig ist. Damit lässt sich vermutlich auch ein Neuling gut verführen, auch wenn der Alkohol für die 40% etwas zu präsent ist.”
