Niet 'bewust' gekocht, maar meer onder het motto 'doe er maar zo een flesje ook bij'.
Ooit stiefmoederlijk behandeld, maar nu een vaste waarde in mijn collectie.

Hij verliest enkele punten bij de neus. De nogal stevige alcoholgeur misleid je van wat er moet komen.
Eens in de mond zal je tong verrast worden van de subtiele zoete, licht rokerige smaak. Het gehemelte geniet nog stevig na van wat lijkt een hoog alcoholpercentage (maar wat niet is).

De prijs zou je doen denken aan een instaprum, maar ik zou dit niet als eerste kennismaking willen krijgen. Ik zou het niet waarderen en laten voor wat het is. Pas later na heel wat gerenommeerde en prijzige rums te hebben geproefd herken je het vakmanschap van deze masterblender!

I had some expectations of this rum. Unfortunately they didn't come true. The nose has quite some alcohol in it, but it's not bad. It smells sweet enough with caramel and vanilla. The taste is quite strong to my opinion. I like sweet rums, but this one didn't live up to that.
Today I tried a mix with coke zero and that works out quite well. A bit expensive for a mixing rum (over 30 euro). Better to get the El Dorado Dark (which is unfortunately not available anymore in The Netherlands) for mixing.

First impression in smell is a lot of oak. I have a small oak barell, used for wine and spirits. It is not burnt inside. In this rum I smell and taste a lot of this natural oaky taste, perhaps too much. After the glass is finished, I smell a very pleasant dose of honeycombs.

Great sipper and in cocktails. Sweet, spicy, and fruity. One of the best values available.

God rom, der næsten altid bliver drukket mere end et glas af.

C'est un rhum corsé en bouche qui laisse place à des saveurs de fruits et épice.
