Interesting rum. I'm not expected smoke here. I couldn't find any information, what barrels were used. The smoke could only come from a finish in Islay casks. I know some natural rums with this finish, but this solera rum was a new experience for me.

I tasted this one three times and I still don't like it. I can't enjoy the smoke with this strong sweetness. It tastes like you are eating a pineapple from an ashtray.
If you like it, go for it.

Smell (not intensive): first some solvent (disappers after 10min), pineapple, apple, citrus, some toffee, ash/smoke, wood, oatmeal cookies
Taste: Very intensive smoke (cigarette ash - you palet get used to it after some sips), sweetness, pineapple, apple and then some bitterness/wood.
Finish: Spicy and middlelong finish (warm burn), also sweet
Aftertaste: cigarette ash

Sweetness: 3.5/5
Fruit: 3.5/5
Spice: 2/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Complexity: 2/5
Value (35€): 1.5/5

If you think this is a good rum, read some more reviews:

"From what I gather the ageing process is around 12 to 15 months – so this is not a particularly long aged rum. Caramel colouring is added to give consistency to each batch and it is felt by Frederic that the rum gets 80% of its profile from the Port Cask ageing. "

Velmi zajímavý rum. Hodně jsem se na tenhle rum těšil a musím říci ze mě nezklamal. Výrazná chuť kávy a kakaa.

Ein gut ausgewogener Rum mit einer wunderschönen kräftigen Mahagonifarbe,
sehr speziell für sein zartes Alter.
In der Nase sehr dezente Noten von Früchten, dunkler Schokolade, Nüssen ....
Im Gaumen kommen dann noch eine leichte Süsse, Vanille, Karamell und Gewürze dazu.
Danach ein harmonischer Abgang der nachklingt.
Ein etwas anderer Rum.

A well-balanced rum with a beautiful rich mahogany color,
very special for his young age.
Very subtle hints of fruit, dark chocolate, nuts in the nose.
In the palate, a light sweetness, vanilla, caramel and spices are added.
Then a harmonious finish.
A slightly different rum.

Un rhum vraiment très intéressant par rapport à ce que j'ai l'habitude de goûter! Assez doux! À essayer!

Au début, le nez me plaisait, très doux, avec des arômes de cacahuètes (?). Mais après l'avoir vraiment goûté, je pense qu'il est un peu artificiel, et sans doute trop sucré. Cela lui donne une certaine "lourdeur". Peut-être devrais-je l'utiliser plus dans des cocktails, que le boire seul.

Loved the taste of hazelnuts at rumfest last year but regretted it the next day when I opened it and the flavor seemed a bit off.

Fun to put in a warm drink.

Nice rum, sweet and full of flavour. Beats the ron zacapa imho.

Too young for me, nice color, too sweet, good aftertaste but it's to flat.
