Real talk
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
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
