“Das Label verspricht Grand Arôme aus Réunion. Weder Nase noch Gaumen haben damit aber viel zu tun, blind wäre ich eher bei einem hochprozentigen, aber wenig aromatischen Obstbrand. Macht mir wenig Spass, tut mir Leid.”

“Weak robe. Lacks intensity. Nose with a lot of alcohol, lacking complexity. Strong attack but driven by the alcohol again, with hints of residual sugar. Some unpleasant bitterness. Long finale, not bad, but of honeyed pineapple. Overall not amazing and honestly, disappointing”

“Je n'ai pas perçu grand chose au nez, surtout l'alcool et peu de place pour les arômes. En bouche l'alcool attaque très fort et masque beaucoup. Je perçois un peu de miel. Finale moyenne comme attendue vu le titrage mais encore surtout sur l'alcool pour moi. J'ai essayé de couper un peu à l'eau pour alléger la présence de l'alcool mais sans succès, le verre devient très plat. Je suis très déçu par rapport à mes attentes "grand arôme" et plutôt content de n'avoir pris qu'un sample.”
