Had it not been for all of the reviews on here stating how this is really a banana liqueur, I would not have bought it. Since most banana liqueurs are dirt cheap and of very poor quality, I sprang $33 for this one. I also needed some banana to maybe cancel out the awful artificial orange of my bottle of Pyrat XO. This may also mix well with my coconut or spiced rums. This could also be used to appease the Bacoo spirit that likes bananas and milk. It smells like banana. It tastes like banana. It goes down like banana and vanilla. There is no burn or bitterness. For banana lovers only.

If they made an air freshener I would buy it. Easy nose that’s complex. Banana, toffee, vanilla are the big 3 notes. Not spicy whatsoever, smooth and sweet from start to finish. You can tell it’s a seasoned/modified rum but it’s still an easy drinker. No ice required. I agree with someone else who said it was a hipster rum. Not really with the hipster thing, but a damn good starter rum for someone that’s never had one neat before. I wish it was 80proof here in the usa. To me it would be perfect if it was 84-90proof.

Sweet and tasty. It something else. Not a really great rum - BUT - it is interesting. Lots of banana and vanilla. Would recommend to try it if you are up for some long lasting sweetness

The scent is dominated by banana. The palate is overly sweet and the banana flavor is overwhelming. I mixed this with various soft drinks including coke and sprite. Sprite made it tolerable and coke turned into a juice. Lastly, the price is not right. Edit: Updating my rating from 3 to 1. As the bottle waited in my cabinet to be consumed, there was always literally anything else that I did rather drink.

We tasted several spiced rums, this is our favorite so far.

Very tough review. This tastes good. If you like banana it tastes great. It is smooth, thick and very flavorful. Coffee, vanilla and chocolate flavors. Small bite. Easy to sip. But do all these additives allow this to still be rum? If you consider Malibu, Blue Chair or Admiral Nelson rum then this definitely is too. And it tastes MUCH better. I give it an 8 because it is delicious, complex and easy to sip. Excellent pseudo rum!

Honestly among the worst rums I’ve tried. Tastes so overwhelmingly of banana and is a pretty adulterated rum all around.

Might make a decent cocktail but I haven’t found a good use for it yet.

It is honestly not disgusting, but not good either. Just a barely average whatever Rum.

Tastes so strongly of Banana that it could be sold as a flavoured rum. Not a complaint. Great sipped over ice.

Slaďoučký a voňavý. Není lihovatý, vhodný i pro ženy (jeden z mála co chutnal i manželce). Rum co bych koupil znovu.

Oblíbený rum mého kamaráda. Často jej pijeme na různých oslavách. Tento rum má pro mne trochu specifickou chuť, která se rozplývá na patře. Jsou v něm malinko cítit bylinky, malá sladkost a dřevo sudu.
