“I think this is a very under rated rum. It's in the cheaper end yet its complexity is very convincing. A wonderful sweet, fruity and spice nose going into a complex well balanced heavy palate. The finish is long, a bit sweet and has a nice peppery sting to it. Price to quality is very good.”

“Mwah mwah mwah, We're on a RON, and it's really not my favorite thing. It's too round, too vanilla, too buttery, there's no fruit or pep, it gets boring fast. It's well made, but not for me. On a positive note though: it leaves an impressive scent in the glass when empty, which is cool.”

“Wenn man mal Lust auf was Süßes hat, ist der hier super. An der Nase erst wenig, dann röstige Aromen und kandierte Früchte, in Richtung Kirschen. Am Gaumen sehr süß, würzig und wieder geröstet. Eher kurzer Abgang.”
