- You can find on our youtube channel the live tasting of this box. You will find the producers or distributors of these rums tasting them and commenting on them, in the company of Nico from Rhum Attitude.
- The bottles are made of P.E.T. and not of glass. The aim is to avoid breakage. P.E.T. keeps spirits perfectly, even for several years, without altering the taste, just like glass.
