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.

If you like your candy at 40% alcohol, this might be for you. To me it is way too sweet. It is truly unique. Just not in a good way.

Déjà presque tout le monde est d'accord : beau packaging, belle bouteille et belle étiquette. Mais est ce suffisant ? Clairement non. Il se boit assez facilement, il n'est pas mauvais, mais faut pas en abuser sinon ilnpeit paraître ecoeurant tant son goût est sucré et fruité.

Now this is something very specific, that you either love or hate. It has a distinct taste of vanilla, with a clear hint of children's toothpaste/cough syrup and caramel. It is quite weird, but has found a place in my heart. I only wish the aftertaste could.. yeah, at all be there. Hopefully the newly released 10 year old big brother will deliver on this.

The label is among the best looking in the market today, with some intense details (look up all the animals!) from the same design company that did The Kraken bottle and label.

This isnt rum. This is a rum based vanilla drink. Crap on the rocks but i reckon a decent cocktail ingredient. Decent for a winter drink added to strong black coffee.

il vaut la peinr d 'etre gouté, pour le voyage, il vient de philippines . il goute le rhum, est agréable, festif, sucré mais les additifs trop présents. on a vraiment l impression qu il s agit d'un mix de rhum avec un peu de ceci et un peu de cela pour lui donner une identité. c 'est un bon achat mais pas un vrai rhum. (avis personnel)

Le packaging est sympa et rappelle le Diplomatico. Après, tout est déception. Le nez : vanille et caramel trop présent, presque artificiel. En bouche.. un sirop pour la toux... Aucune subtilité
