Un bon rhum pour débuter, mais il y a bien meilleur pour le même prix voir moins.

I must say I do enjoy sipping on this rum. Yes this is a sweet rum that has a pronounced molasses taste and extremely sugary but I do appreciate a sweet rum. the price is also reasonable for a great rum. if you are new to rum sipping, this would be the perfect choice. its still one of my favorite to drink during the week.
This is by far the best sipping rum you can buy for under 50 euros.
So delicious it would be a shame to mix it in cocktails.
This is the rum your cabinet can't go without, also because it doesn't break the bank 😉

Nose: a bit shy
Pleasant, pretty sweet, scent of caramel and vanilla, maybe a tiny bit smoky, pretty oily. Not very complex. After taste is not lasting very long.
7-8
Sugar: 40.0 g/l acc. to alko.fi
Smooth and enjoyable on the rocks. Also priced right!

Smooth and sweet a sure hit every time, perfect for sipping.
I have to say I find some of the negative comments about this little beauty a bit uncalled for. I also have to say I am no expert in Rhum but whilst people get carried away with the aficionado talk about it not being a Rhum because its too sweet, this may, in fact, be a shortcoming in their knowledge. I'm not going to go into a chemistry lesson about sugars but in summary, this sugary taste can also be achieved in the process without adding sugar to sweeten it and can be in fact a byproduct of the process and may be intentional for the reasons mentioned in the negative comments, however, it does not necessarily make it a liqueur. I and many others like this Rhum and that is what matters. It's a bit like people who say it's an awful wine because the experts say it is, when in fact it could be very nice. I think maybe the wording should actually read something like "it's a little/too sweet for my palette" not condemn it to not being a Rhum.

The wife's favourite, but for me it's a little on the sweet side, smooth and easily drinkable with an ice ball, not to be violated with coke or ginger beer!
Very nice rum for a nice price as well. Not too sweet but with good taste of vanilla. Good finish with a little bit.

Possibly a little too artificially sweetened, so not for everyone's taste for sure. Very nice dark-goldy colour with a beautiful smell and taste. Easy to drink neat, it would be a shame to ever mix it. A bit of ice is good to take the sweetness away a little.
