Review by Timo Groeger
Wanderung durch das Geisterholz in Oelde. Grad bei den Oelder Wasserfällen und einen neuen Rum saufen. Kommt sehr dunkel daher, vor allem dunkle Schokolade, Kakao und auch Holz. Muss man nicht getrunken haben, aber ok.
Review by Gregor
Solid price-performance ratio. Very strong wood tones. Just typical of guyana in my opinion. Too little percent
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Nobody needs it: the nose is musty, dark, woody. Not much on the palate: a little sweetness, soft - the whole thing doesn't match the nose at all. The finish is very long, but is limited to bitterness on the palate.

Decent taste with wodden notes a bit burned. Unfortunately quite soft finishing
Review by Pavel Spacek
Lots of molasses, flat profile. Pretty similar to Woods, but less taste.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"However, upon revisiting the rum I have found that it has a bitterness to it in the aftertaste that lingers rather too long. This makes the experience of drinking the rum a little unpleasant after a while. It's a good value rum and quite readily available. To me its a..."Read full review →
