Review by Jo Hoo
Eigentlich bin ich nicht der, der gerne Rum aus Zuckerrohrsaft trinkt. Diesen habe ich mir von einer Messe mitgenommen und muss sagen, dass ich angenehm überrascht bin. In der Nase ist er eher unaufdringlich und zurückhaltend, man erkennt aber schöne Aromanoten. Im Mund moderate alkoholische Schärfe und leider eher flache Aromatik (manche nennens es mild)...das ist etwas Schade. Im Abgang kurz, was ich persönlich passend finde. Alles in allem kann man ihn zum Einstieg als Starter in einen netten Rumabend gut gebrauchen.

Kann man gut trinken
Review by w00tAN
In der Nase Vanille und Milchschokolade, ich bilde mir auch ne Pflaume ein. Von Agricol keine Spur aber Zuckerrohrsaft soll die Ausgangsbasis sein. Im Mund kann man einen Agricol erkennen, aber die Süße dominiert. Abgang eher Holz & Pfeffer und mittellang
Review by cigares
Un rhum avec un nez boisé avec du caramel et de la vanille. La bouche est douce mais un léger piquant/amer altère un peu le plaisir. La finale est sur le caramel amer et le boisé. Moins bon que le 12 yo, mais il faut dire que le prix est compétitif.
Review by R Wehner
Nase wenig, bissel Rum und Holz, mild; Zunge anders, erster Eindruck bestätigt sich nicht, erstmal scharf, bissel Würze und Holz, Schärfe bleibt, vielleicht zum Mischen (2.8.24), neue Verkostung: Nase bleibt, auf der Zunge keine Schärfe mehr, Anfängersüßrum, zum Mischen gut
