“A very nice single barrel with a warm and fruity profile. Lightly spicy and a very long finish.”

“Etwas bitter und ordentlich würzig. Kein Rum für den nüchternen Gaumen. Holz, getrocknete Früchte, dezente Süsse. Mit Wasser wird er wesentlich gefälliger.”

“Etwas bitterer und erwachsener als der etwas ältere #26er. Typischer für guadeloupe. Nicht so mein Fall.”
