This was my saturday night , laying in the couch, watching tv, being stress free and drink. : ) Mixed with cola i think it becomes a enjoyable rum cola. It may be a tad expensive tough. But that bottle sure looks good. Happy i was nog dissapointed , i truly enjoyed it, bottle also looks really cool, BUT guys, for that money you CAN buy much better. Final verdict, it's good but it's in a price range were you can find many better rums. (Buy a appleton 12 years for a few bucks more and taste the difference)

Very special taste and very sweet - wha't I normally prefer. Depend on the mood I'm in it's ok.

Pretty good. Maybe a little too sweat. Strong caramel notes with a hint of vanilla.

Na tomto rume okamΕΎite upΓΊta parΓ‘dna originΓ‘lna fΔΎaΕ‘a. ChvΓ­ΔΎu trvΓ‘ vytiahnuΕ₯ masΓ­vny korok, farba je krΓ‘sny hlbokΓ½ jantΓ‘r. Vôňa nie je prΓ­liΕ‘ vΓ½raznΓ‘, zato je ΓΊplne jednoznačnΓ‘ - banΓ‘n s vanilkou. TΓ‘to kombinΓ‘cia mi v princΓ­pe neprekΓ‘ΕΎa, čo ale uberΓ‘ z dobrΓ©ho pocitu, je značne umelΓ‘ chuΕ₯. Narozdiel od vÀčőiny rumov ΕΎiadny dub, dym ani karamel. TΓ‘ jednostrannosΕ₯, resp. ΓΊzke rozpΓ€tie tΓ³nov sΓΊ aΕΎ zarΓ‘ΕΎajΓΊce. Pri tomto sladΕ‘om rume mi imponovala jemnosΕ₯, aj vÀčőí dΓΊΕ‘ok len jemne pohladΓ­ jazyk a ΓΊstnu dutinu, absentuje Ε‘tipΔΎavosΕ₯. Naopak sklamal krΓ‘tky zΓ‘ver, kedy na jazyku ostΓ‘va len matne umelΓ‘ vanilkovΓ‘ stopa. S kaΕΎdΓ½m ďalΕ‘Γ­m pohΓ‘rikom vΕ‘ak mΓ΄j dojem viac a viac opadΓ‘. K vΓ½slednΓ©mu ratingu prispela aj vyΕ‘Ε‘ia cenovka.

Interesting bottle and presentation for the dark amber rum but it goes down hill from there. The smells of banana and caramel giving a sweet flavour that does not last.

Couple of friends enjoyed this rum straight we felt the caramel came through. Wife liked it β€œ for rum” so I would have to say for some here this would be too sweet. However 6 people with different pallets enjoyed this rum straight. I think safe bet for entertaining.

Sweet, much banana, and very sweet, but nothing special.
I would recommend something Else.

This rum is popular, but I have to say that I was a little dissapointed. It has very sweet banana scent. Flavour is decent, smooth but very banana and vanilla like. It is more flavourish, than I would expect and like.

If you are a rum purist, just pass this one by. Its sweet, its syrupy, and its banana flavored. Yes, it is delicious to those of us with a serious sweet tooth and a penchant for dessert like cocktails, but it has some good points that the more serious of us might also enjoy.

Whole very sweet it has a unique flavor and nose. It's a very enjoyable presentation, with its interesting bottle and cork, and banana flavor leading many to believe that it's nothing more than a sweet and gimmicky low quality product.. it do not be mislead!

I found this one to be delicious and pleasant, and while yes it is very sweet, it still has some wonderful complexity to its flavor. Other than the powerful banana scent (which tastes much milder than you'd expect), I found some wonderful vanilla and spicy notes as well, and have had nothing but positive reviews from friends who I have shared it with.

Save this one for the newbies in your circle, and use it to help introduce them to the wonderful range of rum flavors out there. It's a great mixer, and easy to drink too much of; definitely a dessert drink.

Good and sweet with a good hint of vanilla
this is one of my favorites, I always have one on the shelf in case I get the urge for something good and sweet.

What defines a good rum? Its preference among a wide audience, or when a self-called "professional" calls it a good rum?

It has a rich aroma, a great mixture of taste with a lot of banana and vanilla (although a bit too much sweet) with amazing finish.

A bottle is simple but with a good design.

A great choice for people who prefer sweet and not too heavy taste.
