i smell smoke and chocolate.
i taste wood. more than in the xo. some smoke. orangepeel in the back. cinnamon. chocholat. raisins and grape. some prune.
no more than 7 out of 10 points. for me its much too sweet. but if you like it, this is for you!

C'est un excellent Rhum de Rep Dom.
Préférez le moment de la fin du repas pour l'apprécier comme il se dois.
Vous allez vous régaler.

God og dejlig sød og mild rom, men den mangler lige...

Lots of banana leaves, subtle sweetness of exotic fruits and a really high class drink!

Edit: Smelled the glass 2 days later. Still smells wonderful. Bumping this to a 9!

I love everything about it. From the nice botlle. To the sweetness balance, the afterburn, the caramel, vanille, sherry taste, the price, everything !
It was the 2th best bottle of the group of four people after 20 rums. Two of us bought a botlle. 25y for 80€. At that price it's the best rum i know. When i want to convince friends to try rum this is the bottle i use. Solid 9,5 ! Right under embassador and riise ultra.

nice and smooth with a pleasant sweetness.
But it's not quite good enough to give it a 9.

Taste very well. I love it.Very soft and so smooth.

Uno de los mas ricos rones que haya bebido. Redondo en todos los sentidos.

Excellent rum, one of our favorites. Top 5
We have tasted 30 different rums since Jan/1/16.
This party is winding down. we may try another 30 rums, but it will probably take years to do it, not 6 months.
Top five for our group of friends. Based on perceived value, personal taste, and how much rum was gone at the end of the night in each bottle when we held a tasting. Just because the most expensive bottle did not make the top 5, don't mean it wasn't great rum, just cost more than we want to pay - I can think of 10 others we tried that I would not hesitate to purchase again, but these seem to be the top picks.
