Beaucoup d'arôme différent, un gout d'orange(type bonbon à l'orange) dominant.
Un rhum qui ne m'a pas spécialement plu, mais qui reste intéressant.

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

I'm going to sit on the fence with this one and spend some of my time perched in that spot having a sip or two of this, whilst holding a glass of something else in the other hand.
Being honest, when you drink this, it's very moreish, smooth and likeable. In texture, it reminded me of one of those nicer liquid medicines you had when you were a kid - not the foul tasting one, but the ones with added gylcerine. You can taste and feel that added glycerine here, so it slips down your throat. Taste-wise, it's vanilla and caramel, fruit (possibly a sweetish lemon) and, well, rum. It has a light-liqueur quality for sure.
If I was marking this out of 10 for taste and drinkabilty, I'd give it a 9...
But, we're a RUM tasting and rating group, right? And we're not judging soda or liqueur. As a rum, this is not very resonant of what rum is - much less so than nearly any other spiced rum, many of which (despite the purists trashing them) are actually pretty decent rums with a variable kick or slant. So, as a rum, I'd give this 4. It's not harsh or unpleasant and it is still rum/rum-liqueur...albeit of an odd variety... so I can't give it less than that.
So, that takes me to a 7 as an average - I'll take 2 marks off for the fact that they seem to be doing stuff that they are not declaring - though they're not the only ones. I'll add on 1 on for the fact that the bottle and general presentation is 1st class.
So, 6 is my score. Will I buy this frequently?...no, but I would be happy to have a bottle in my cabinet as Christmas present and I will have a sip of it here and there. I also expect that many people who say they "don't like rum," my find it a gateway, and that has its uses.
