     I picked up this rum inspired by the positive reviews, but was disappointed given the price (96 euros, but I would sell it no more than 40). A good Spanish rum, but just not in my league. Sweet at high proof, no surprises from the aromas other than some coconut notes and a distant back taste of barrel. The alcohol is not well integrated.

     Die Nase ist sehr verschlossen und auch am Gaumen passiert nicht so viel. Insgesamt sehr nah am Foursquare Profil, jedoch für mein Empfinden in abgespeckter Form. Alkohol nicht perfekt eingebunden. Edit: Bleibt für mich bei der Bewertung. Hatte in letzter Zeit deutlich bessere Travellers im Glas.

     I like it amazingly well! Lots of milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, some tobacco and barrel notes. Alcohol amazingly well delivered!

     The next really delicious top rum. Here too, the nose and palate have an absolutely light chocolate and vanilla aroma and flavor. The alcohol is again barely noticeable. An absolutely recommendable rum.
