Rum di stile industriale prodotto da blend di diversi rum.
Al naso si avvertono note esclusivamente dolci, in primis caramello, cocco, miele e vaniglia.
Al palato ha con un corpo leggero, il gusto è molto dolce, quasi stucchevole contrastato leggermente da lievi note agrumate.
E' un rum piacione, adatto principalmente ad un pubblico femminile e a coloro a cui piacciono i gusti dolci, infatti sembra più un liquore che un distillato. Credo che oltre al grosso quantitativo di caramello (colore scuro) siano state aggiunte delle spezie, anche se ciò non è riportato ne sull'etichetta, ne sul sito del produttore.

Consiglio per tutti: quando annusate un rum (o qualsiasi distillato), prima di inserire il naso e inspirare, effettuate un leggero soffio nel bicchiere e subito dopo provate a sentire i profumi. Questa operazione serve a svampare un po' la potenza dell'alcool che altrimenti vi porterebbe a bruciare nel naso e a coprire molti sentori.

Industrial style rum produced by a blend of different rums.
The nose is known exclusively sweet, primarily caramel, coconut, honey and vanilla.
On the palate it has a light body, the taste is very sweet, almost cloying contrasted slightly by light citrus notes.
It is a rum suitable mainly for a female audience and for those who like sweet tastes, in fact it looks more like a liqueur than a distillate. I believe that in addition to the large quantity of caramel (dark color) spice has been added, even if this is not reported on the label or on the manufacturer's website.

Advice for everyone: when you smell a rum (or any distillate), before inserting the nose and inhaling, make a slight puff in the glass and immediately afterwards try to smell the perfumes. This operation serves to escape a little 'the power of alcohol that otherwise would lead to burn in the nose and cover many scents.

I will "declare an interest" as my "outlaws" come from Mount Canlaon.

This is a rum that depends heavily on vanilla. It may not be the most complex aged rum around, but it is very drinkable and may be enjoyed as a sipping rum by the very many people who have never tried a good rum on its own.

I happen to like it, and if you like vanilla rums you will like this one.

non è buono quanto bella la bottiglia, il profumo e dolce,e nn mi dispiace
Ma poi il gusto dolce e carico di alcool non mi entusiasma molto, con pochissimo sentore D'invecchiamento.

Penso di non comprarne più

Det første jeg mødte var duften af Labrelarver.
Smagen var meget sød i starten, men aftog. Der var en dominerende smag af vanille.
Eftersmagen er lang og virkelighed behalig.

The Note of Vanille is to strong. After drinking I smell this even after 5-10 minutes in my nose.

Denne rom er næsten som den sodavand. Alt for sød til min smag. Vil gå så langt som at kalde den for en kvinde rom. Den for to flasker, kun pga jeg kan lide flasken og designet på markatten

Not for all in my opinion. For my taste buds this rum is too much vanilla and taste has somehow artificial flavor.
I invite my three friends to rum Tasting (Botucal-Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, Abuelo Aňejo 12 YO, Plantation 20th Anniversary XO, Pyrat X.O. Reserve and Don Papa) and two of them said that is nothing special and one said that is fantastic and even the best from all this five ... :-o

La package, la bouteille, et même le prix rappellent étrangement le Diplomatico Reserva. Mais le ramage ne se rapporte pas au plumage, la comparaison s'arrête là. Celui-ci est TRES sucré, chargé en aromes artificiels, agrumes, fruits confits, girofle. Le tout avec excès, sans harmonie. Cette cacophonie gustative rappelle davantage le sirop pour la toux que le spiritueux. Ecœurant et sans intérêt gustatif.
