This rum looks and tastes great in a flask and that is where you will find me enjoying it. On cold days when racing a single man dinghy, this rum will help keep me warm and reside in my PFD. My friends will come by and ask to partake and when we all come in, the flask will be dry.

Bottle: The label is interesting looking and a good representation of its birth home but the bottle fails to impress after that. Very little detail about the distillery, no syn-cork that says it is a better product, the bottle bottom notes indicates that it is not a cheap bottle. Presentation could be better.
Color: A very nice golden brown, it looks the part of a great rum.
Bottle Aroma: A heavy ethanol odor hits the nose first but the rum does come through.
Glass Aroma: The ethanol smell has dissipated and a light oak, easy drinking rum smell fills the nose.
Taste: The rum starts out light which surprises after the bottle nose, a good start of flavor hits and the caramel begins, then the oils leave the tongue and the heat comes back. This is another rum that I'll pack into a flask for cold days when the backbone needs strengthening, but this is not the rum I will chose in front of the fire.

This rum is a bit uneven but I do not dislike this trait in rums. Rums should not be 20 year old bourbons or 30 year old cognacs, they should bite a little and when they fail to do so, I tend to get bored. Some may find this rum a little harsh, but like my personality, I find the harshness true to character and enjoy the company.

Nevýrazný, ničím zvláštny rum. Pre bežné popíjanie v pohode. Chuť trošku ostrejšia, drevitá.

For the price you will be hard pushed to find a better honest unadulterated Rum. An absolute joy to sip neat, no harsh alcohol taste, very, very smooth but with enough heat to keep it interesting, and plenty of wonderful flavours to excite the palate. Not sweet or fruity, more leather, tobacco and wood flavours.

With the first glass, I really enjoyed just sniffing it, on the nose there is hint of Jamaican-style overripe banana, especially at the beginning of the bottle, towards the end of the bottle you can feel more pronounced charred oak, it has sweet and fruity taste, with the smoky tones of a good whisky combined with a bit of toffee, tiny alcohol bite at the end which is which is almost hidden in the aftertaste which combines spicyness with charred barrel, it is surprisingly smooth and sippable for its age (under 5y), with no added sugar. It is not a very complex rum in the taste profile, but it is very well made and the combination of wood with a bit of Jamaican funk works very well for me. I can sip it, mix it, it excels in both categories. It is a bloody good value for the money, so there goes score 8.

Generic rum and almond smell. Taste is similar, quite sweet but not very well rounded, as if it hasn't been matured enough. It's still ok and not harsh. Too short aftertaste

Not bad stuff. Bit rough to drink neat, nice with a mixer. Can't really give it a 7.

A slightly rubbery character in the nose with raisins, honey, vanilla and a bit of oak. The pot still is apparent. Not bad. The notes follow through in the mouth. It's not extraordinarily refined, but enough so given the price and to my palette, enjoyable neat. A nice and cheap dram.

Neat its a quite warm sip.better than when mixed with coke. I preferred it with a little breathing time. In other words I let it sit for a while. I'm not going to rush out and replace this bottle but not because i didn't like it. It's just very similar to other stuff and there's so many more to try.

I drank about 20 or so glasses neat in St. Lucia. This is the way to go. This needs time to breath in the glass. As this sits for a while it really opens up. Nice strong spice and totally smooth with a nice amount of pot still rum. Picked up a 1L bottle in St. Lucia for 16 US. It has a strong alcohol when poured that needs time to rest to open a spicy enjoyable nose.

Great nose that's slightly sweet and floral. First taste is overpowering with oily sour molasses. Long spicy finish that doesn't go down very well. Just not too many flavors cone through over a pretty substantial burn.
