    "So far, I've always placed some Jamaicans somewhere else in the funny Advent calendar. This time it's the other way around. Ohh, Jamaica. What, St Lucia? But then in the finish, the medical note, gauze bandages etc."

    "The funny calendar day 19 I'm actually glad I wasn't able to try it yesterday. Thanks to the tip to put it in a glass for a while, I was able to really enjoy it. My recommendation: Pour it, forget about it and taste it after about 1 1/2-2 hours. It has developed into a real grenade. For me, by far the best from the calendar so far. And my new favorite from St. Lucia"
