Review by Dunzi
Ich bin mittlerweile im Besitz von ca. 30 verschiedenen Rums, dieser ist für mich sehr interessant und außergewöhnlich. Intensiv, aber nicht zu süß, auch holzig und rauchig, nicht zu scharf. Ein guter Rum zu einem sehr günstigen Preis.

Très bon rhum qui nous emporte sur les îles Maurice avec lui! équilibrer entre les fruits et la complexité et ceux tout en fraîcheur
Review by Project•Oasis
The barrel is definitely in the foreground, very mild rum despite low sweetness.
Review by Business Liner Ralf
toller Rum; komplex und vielschichtig; finde den Rum hier unterbewertet; verdient ein sehr 👍
Review by Gyuli
Coffee flavors come to the fore, with a slight alcoholic note. The finish is smooth and moderately sweet. However, the nose and tongue are irritated throughout, and although slightly sweet, the body is rather light, and the alcohol seems to be unintegrated. I remember the 8 year old having a bit more depth and less alcohol buzz. If you like the flavor of Gold of Mauritius, I'd recommend spending a little more to get the 8 year old.

Erg lekker. Zacht van smaak, maar iets te bananerig
Review by Johannes
Netter Einsteiger-Rum. Aber schmeckt etwas künstlich und gesüßt.
Review by Tim_7
Hauch von Annanas, Toffee, leicht rauchig, Karamell, etwas schwerer
Review by Andi
Good rum for the entry, sweetish, vanilla, very light wood flavors and dried fruits.
Review by Andreas Cebin
Very light entry-level rum.
Review by François Delmotte
Agréablement surpris pour un rhum de mélasse. Le fût, bois est présent. Note de caramel, vanille et fruits sec. Un peu trop sucré.

Review by Portman
This rum was my introduction to Mauritius rums. I was disappointed. Too woody for me, otherwise flat, little sweet and a bit nutty. The second tasting didn't save it for me either. I will test a Lazy Dodo on occasion to hopefully approach Mautitius after all.
