Rich amber color, more red than most aged rums. Heavy ripe banana aroma. Very sweet with a little cinnamon spice. After first sip the aroma got slightly bubblegum-like. Tastes a bit artificial, but not so much that it’s ruined. Overall good, not great.

I’m on my 3rd or 4th bottle of this rum and it still impresses me. Rich, sweet and full of flavors. Tobacco, orange, burnt sugar. So smooth but not without depth. Sweet but not too sweet. Really a great rum!

Pas d'artifice, une finition subtile, on lui reprochera peut-être un petit manque de fantaisie, un "on-ne-sait-quoi" le rendant singulier.

I really liked combination with Cola and Diplomatico. It is very good rum without Cola too. Fine taste.

Too sweet for mature aged rummers. Def can be a starting rum for some people and its rather pleasing too.

Liqueur-like, hyper sweetness, admittedly too much added sugar. Not pleasant. Caramel, candies, brown sugar. The sweetness is just too overwhelming. Why even are the rum-destilleries adding even a gram of sugar. It destroys the whole sense of rum production and the taste. Dont even think about buying a bottle of this. Cheers :3
Was expecting a bit more flavour. On the nose its metallic with a hint of caramel or sugar cane. Taste: quite a smooth but plain start then a small burst of caramel and toffee with a pleasent aftertaste. Easy sipping with very little burn all in all a good rum but not quite great.

Intenzivní, chuťově dlouhotrvající mírně sladký rum, který nemůže nikoho urazit. Chuť po pomerančích, karamelu a javorovém sirupu.

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.
