Gold of Mauritius Dark

First smell was dominated by alcoholic notes that soon gave way to notes of caramel, peanut and some distant wood. These notes did also dominate the palate with some added (minor) spiciness. The medium size finish was quite sweet and – interestingly - did reveal some smoke at the end. Despite the flavour notes I experienced this rum as quite soft and not as a full bodied or very complex rum which translates into my rating. So if you are looking for something not too complex this might be interesting for you.

Nasládlý ve vůni i v chutí, cítit je perníkové koření, kdo rád sladké, doporučuji

Apple and cinnemon in the nose - very promising. But then there is not that much in the mouth: Cacao, cinnemon, coffee - but very thin. A very strange aftertaste, I cannot quite identify. Licorice? I don't like licorice... Better on the rocks.

Duft af bær og nødder. Lidt banan når den har siddet i glasset. Tænker meget på Hubba Bubba. Meget smag af træ og lidt brændte popcorn. Som at tage en skefuld træflisen. Lidt sødme til sidst. Ligner ikke så mange andre rom, men træsmagen betyder, det ikke er en toprom. (5. December 2018 i MacY)

Classic, not sweet, more runny than spicy, little citrus tones

I found this rum to be solid but unspectacular. It doesn't taste bad or anything, it just doesn't have that much character. I find this one to taste a bit better on ice rather than neat although where this rum truly shines is with Ginger beer/ale! I have to say though, that the box and bottle for this are excellent!

Beautifully colored rum in square bottle. What a smell! Very fresh, green apples, nuts and more aromas. It is sweet, smoky and silky at first, but very harsh on throat. And that was a disappointment and set back great first impression.

It’s well balanced, with some uncommon flavors but still interesting.
It starts like nutmeg or port wine, then smoked wood but it doesn’t finish as well. The after taste is to sweet.

Pekný tmavý odtieň v peknej fľaši, chut príjemná ale trochu alkoholova v zavere, vône sú intenzívne až po dlhšom čase v pohári.
