Got to try a little at a liquor store before buying a full bottle...didn't buy the bottle afterwards. Smooth but tastes orangey and cough syrup like. Reminded me of Pyrat rum which I also don't consider a real aged rum. Not for me and not recommended as quality spirit.

The rum is crap the marketing is impeccable. Don't waste your money unless you're looking to add the bottle design to your collection. This thing is seriously sweet.

Not quite good, well smell is good, full of vanilla and it is kind of sweet BUT it has thinner tail and it completely ruins whole experience. However, it is quite good in cocktails.

Overly sweetened and has a very strange chemical (quite unpleasant actually) after taste.
It was part of a tasting kit I received as a gift, but having tried it, I would not be inclined to buy a bottle.

Rhum avec du sucre ajouté (pas trop de tests sur ce rhum, mais je suspecte la vingtaine de grammes par litre) et qui se trouve plutôt couteux (40-50€).
Je ne suis en général pas trop contre le rhum sucré à une certaine limite quand il apporte autre chose que le sucre. Ici ce n'est pas le cas, c'est un bonbon liquide, pas un rhum, j'irai même jusqu'à dire que ça me fait penser à certains sirops pour la toux.
Bref à ce stade là, on sent le cache misère dont on ne devrait pas s'attendre à ce prix.
Il est possible de l'apprécier, mais pas de le conseiller.

Snad nejhorší zážitek zatím. Vezměte pytel gumových medvídků, nasypte do sudu s alkoholem, míchejte dokud se medvídci nerozpustí a máte Don Papa. Stáčejte do lahve se zajímavou etiketou, prodávejte za cenu přes 800 a máte zaděláno na průšvih.

They use additives, cloying cheap sweeteners, some kind of pruny syrup probably for coloring which absolutely adulterated the taste. I have only 2 thoughts: rum is just disitllled molasses beer and used barrels. How the heck do people think this is a good idea and 2. Like... Didn't they taste it? Or, man, maybe they did and somehow this tastes good. Thankfully I just bought a pout or I'd be sad as I dumped this overboard.

The scent is sweet and artificial, color is unnatural and it tastes primarily sweet with a surprisingly spicy aftertaste.

Something you can use to top your waffles or ice cream. It's over the top, even for most cocktails.

La toute première gorgée peut donner l'illusion d'un rhum agréable, les suivantes non.
Le feu de l'alcool est très présent en bouche et mal camouflé par l'arôme caramel intense.
Cette liqueur, qui ne mérite pas le nom de rhum, est écoeurante au bout de la 2eme gorgée.
La bouteille est jolie sur une étagère, c'est tout.
