This is a sugary liqueur, not a rum. That said, it is not unpleasant with banana and caramel being the dominant flavours. It is smooth, if teeth-curlingly sweet, and has a syrupy feel in the mouth.
Not a sipper for me, needs ice as a very minimum to tone it down. Would make an interesting ingredient in banana themed cocktails though.

This is one of my favorites. Sipping baking rumcakes doesn't matter just great

Strong banana smell, hints of vanilla. Not as smooth as others but good both neat and with ice.

Very sweet, aromatic with a noticeable scent of vanilla and bananas. It seems good for desserts or for warming up on a winter evening

While it was smooth, it tasted like green bananas. Kinda weird

One of my personal favs but I like sweet drinks, very strong flavors of vanilla and banana

Vorab zu den Umständen der Verkostung: Dieser war nicht der erste Tropfen des Abends.

Vekostungsnotiz:
Goldbrauner Rum der ein intensives Aroma verströmt.
Duft nach Caramel Popcorn. Dezent süßlich auf der Zunge. Am Gaumen gesellt sich Apfel dazu.
Eher auf der dünnen Seite, dafür recht mild und ausgewogen.
Leicht bitterer Abgang.
Fazit: Speziell, aber nicht besonders. Dennoch für ein paar Gläschen gut trinkbar.

A nice bottle to handle.
Smooth and sweet flavour.
Maybe a bit of to much banana..
Not bad at all

I read the ratings after I bought it. I was apprehensive upon reading that it was sweet and had “no burn whatsoever”. Well I tried it, and it DEFINITELY tastes of bananas, which seemed weird but actually tastes good. What I didn’t taste was an overwhelming sweetness, and it did have a pretty nice afterburn that doesn’t stay in the throat as long as others but long enough for me to appreciate. Overall I’d say good for variety, and probably amazing in a rum based tropical cocktail.

interesting rum if you're open minded, horror if you're a "purist". lots of sweetness and external flavors. for the bartender a great rum to experiment with. out of the box rum, just different.

Extremely sweet rum, with too many added flavors, rather some juice
