"Orange sugar water in my mind but very good in a chocolate cake!"

"I like the bottle very much and the label is also beautiful. The taste of this rum is not convincing. Very sweet and a bit artificial. Similar to Don Papa, but not quite as bad and drinkable."

"On the nose the first thing to hit you is brown sugar mixed in with some coffee, baking spice and a little solventy glue. The palate is quite full of sour citrus. There's hints of orange and cinnamon. The finish is short and bitter with a twist of orange peel. For me this is too heavy on the citrus but if you were into the more sour flavours this could be your thing."

"Not even imaginable pure, it can indeed replace a triple sec for cocktails but given the sweetness I will stay on a Cointreau, Grand Marnier or even a well made arrangé to avoid shooting my brain."
