“This new release is more on the roasted side than the other ones. Lightly fruity with vanilla and wonderful caramel. On the palate there is wonderful roasted wood and I find it nice and round with and oily feel on the tongue. Price to quality is very good in my mind.”

“Easy Einsteiger in die Welt der jamaikanischen Rums. Aus der Erinnerung gefällt mir der 12-jährige etwas besser, aber dazu müsste ich sie parallel probieren. Mich persönlich stört die Bitterkeit, die für mein Empfinden deutlich zu dominant ist. In Summe etwas charakterlos, da gibt es stärkere Vertreter des Jamaikanischen Stils, auch im niedrigen Preissegment.”

“Du caramel, du bois de cèdre, du végétal, de la cannelle, de l’ananas et des agrumes au nez. La bouche a une attaque franche, les fruits sont là et les arômes montent et descendent en douceur. Ils disparaissent ensemble assez vite et restent surtout le caramel et le cèdre. Un bon rhum pour le prix, très bien fait.”
