This is by far the worst rum I have ever tasted, and left my mouth very dry. Maybe I got a bad bottle judging from the other ratings on this page, but this tasted more like whiskey than rum to me. The advertisement in the store indicated that it had coconut flavor, which is what I was looking for, but I noticed that there was no mention of it on the bottle, so I was reluctant to buy it. However, one of the employees at Total Wines swore up and down that it was the best rum ever. I should have listened to my own instincts. Unfortunately this stuff will be going down the drain.

Smooth tasting rum with notes of butterscotch and pineapple. Good sipping rum with a price that is easy on the wallet.

Decent rum. Smells horrible, reminds me of medical alcohol that nurses put on a cotton ball before they give you a shot. That said it has a nice, smooth flavor that to me has a hint of honey followed by a cinnamon finish.

Weak, overpriced, overrated, but overall ok, if it was half the price I'd give it an 8.

Aroma is a bit agressive with lot of alcohol and some sweetness. Taste is influenced by aging in bourbon casks, but sweet too. Long and strong aftertaste. Not bad at all.

Similar to Plantation XO but more sweet and less complex. Aftertaste is short and sugar cover most of taste... But price is low.

I really love this stuff! Super balanced, not a lot of the bright flavors you get from a less-aged rum. Lots of vanilla from the barrel aging.

Tasted on 11-18-23 thanks to Admiral Bill who purchased it in Miami. Almost a light brown color it is so dark gold. Classic sea salt and saccharine aroma. Sugary stick candy sweetness up front. Maple and mint. Even more candy sweetness after a few drops.

Tasted during Rogue Rum Club, thanks to the Cains travels November 18 2023
Appearance: dark amber
Aroma: plum pudding
Flavor: tobacco, pound cake, vanilla, butterscotch
This might be a dessert rum, with a lasting sweetness that has a depth of flavor.

Great for sipping or mixing an Old Fashioned. Too bad I can't purchase this in my home state of PA!
