I started with rums in 2015. In the beginnig it were mostly sweet and common rums, but after more and more samples, I started to prefer rums without added sugar and if possible in cask strenght. Last few year I also discovered the beauty of aged agricole rums amd I'm still learning with every new sample I have chance to taste.
