What do reviewers say about Van Py Rhum and An Affair?
It is sweet. It is warm. It wears like a cashmere blanket doused in rum. The vanilla-rum interplay is not subtle, but it works. If you want restraint, look elsewhere. This is unabashed indulgence.Van Py Rhum
Sweet enough to be dessert. But the opening is all spice and rum, so it wears like a dare, not an apology. Panettone fans, this is the one. The cardamom keeps it honest. The rum keeps it interesting.An Affair
