Plaisant et facile à boire. Très vanillé sur une finale d'agrumes.
Efficace !
A smooth sipping rum maybe a little to sweet but not to bad.

Philippines being not Rum country I had very little expectations from this piece. But I was positively surprised. Served straight it was quite pleasant, slightly sweet experience with smooth finish. Definitely worth another glass

Ce rhum est a essayer pour debuter dans les rhums de degustation.en effet il est tres atypique et tres parfume.il se boit sec .si on goute des rhums de qualite il peut se reveler trop simple et fort sur son gout fleur d orange et vanille.il est toutefois a connaitre.note 6.5.
Toutefois si le gout reste bon, ce rhum contient des produits (glycerine) pour adoucir et beaucoup de sucre.c un melange de chimiste.voir l article sur le rhum 2.0 et les dessous de ce rhum (comme d autres) n est pas tout rose. pour obtenir son gout don papa prend des racourcis.....

If first impressions are anything to go by the bottle sells itself. It is a great looking present! The flavour are deep oak with a strong vanilla aftertaste great over just one ice cube. This will always have a place in my drinks cupboard.

Too sweet, strong taste of vanilla and sweet citrus. Nice bottle, but nothing for people who dislike vanille flavor...

Un Rhum de degustation, certains le déteste d'autres l'adore, si vous aimez avoir un plein de saveurs différentes en bouche avec un côté alcool bien soutenu, que vous n'êtes pas fan du trop sec, vous allez faire de ce Rhum une priorité, perso je suis fan!
The bottle is truly beautiful. And that's about it for the upsides.
The smell is very sweet and feels quite artificial. Cough syrup is pretty good comparison. And by no means is this flavored just by aging in oak. The rum has a very strong smell of orange peel and there are some spices inside as well. That by itself would not be a problem if this rum was marketed as spiced rum, but it definitely is not.
This was a big disappointment for me.

Dreadful. It's not even rum.

This rum is a cynical cash grab concocted by corporate marketers and ad men attempting to appeal to the discerning drinker. And by "discerning" I mean: has money and knows diddly squat about spirits, especially rum.
If rum had the rules and regulations of Scotch or Bourbon this stuff wouldn't even be allowed to market itself as rum. Small batch?!? LOL! Next time you're in the Philippines I dare you to visit this charming boutique distillery... Perhaps spend an evening sampling their rum and experiencing the terroir of the region. I'm sure a day at the distillery, which absolutely isn't some industrial beverage facility, would be very beautiful and romantic...
Look, the truth is that this is industrially produced cane sugar/molasses-based (I'm being generous here) ethanol which has been gussied up with all manner of sweeteners, artificial flavours, colours and god knows what else (glycerol and vanillan at least, according to lab tests) to make it palatable -- and it isn't! Bad enough that they call it rum, but it commits an even greater sin than playing fast and loose with the truth -- it tastes bad!
Oh, and aged 7 years? Hilarious. I doubt it's even been aged seven days! After all, we all know what age statements mean on rum (hint: it rhymes with truck ball). It's a good thing rum drinkers don't seem to care about things like age statements and hidden additives, otherwise they might start getting what they're paying pay for, which is quality.
