Liqueur-like, hyper sweetness, admittedly too much added sugar. Not pleasant. Caramel, candies, brown sugar. The sweetness is just too overwhelming. Why even are the rum-destilleries adding even a gram of sugar. It destroys the whole sense of rum production and the taste. Dont even think about buying a bottle of this. Cheers :3
Was expecting a bit more flavour. On the nose its metallic with a hint of caramel or sugar cane. Taste: quite a smooth but plain start then a small burst of caramel and toffee with a pleasent aftertaste. Easy sipping with very little burn all in all a good rum but not quite great.

Intenzivní, chuťově dlouhotrvající mírně sladký rum, který nemůže nikoho urazit. Chuť po pomerančích, karamelu a javorovém sirupu.
Great rum that tasts almost liqueur like with its sweetness. For me the sweetness is a little too much but if you have a sweet tooth this might become one of your favorites

Perfume, a little smoke and some caramel, vanilla and coconut. Silky kind of feel as it goes down. Nice golden amber colour. A little pepper.
This rum is the best rum I’ve ever had for the price. It’s a constant in the house and not only does the profile invite many different flavors, but it’s smooth.
One of my favorites. Perfect balance of sweetness and spice

Wow. I knew it was going to be sweet, but I didn't realize just how sweet.
As others mention, there's VERY little bite, and only mild warmth on the finish hinting that this is actually a spirit. That's not a good sign. This stuff is basically spiked sugar syrup, and little else. The more complex flavors are almost totally masked by the sweetness.
After sitting in the glass for 15 minutes, the nose congealed into the focused smell of vanilla frosting. I don't think I could tell the two apart.
I couldn't finish my glass. Ice wouldn't help, and Coke has gobs of sugar already. I imagine this could make a killer Daiquiri... rum, lime, and no sugar. Still, I see this strictly as a mixer.
As even "Flawed with a glimmer of hope" seems generous, I have no reservation in awarding this my lowest rating to-date. And this is just a wild guess, but I think the imaginary un-sugared version would be still be only a 6. Too bad they have no incentive to change...
