I think this should qualify as a flavored rum or even a liquor. Too much artificial flavors and added sugars for my taste.

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.

Initial flavor was cream soda. The bottle doesnโ€™t suggest added flavors, but it sure seems that way- and not good additions. Mixed wasnโ€™t much better, with the flavor overpowering everything else. A 4.5 gets rounded down.

Very sweet and banana-eee. Certainly no need to add anything to mix with this sweet rum. Just straight on the rocks for dessert.

Flydende slik. Intet mindre. Meget sรธd, og farligt let drikkeligt. Helt igennem fantastisk.

Banana and vanilla! I would go for the 35% and not the 40% thought. Liqueur like.

This rum will not let you down as it builds standard taste with vanilla that I really don't like, but here it is for the good of the final feeling.

this stuff is very sweet and has an artificial banana flavor. almost like a liqeur instead of a rum. also the bottle gives no hint on whats inside, so most will be in for a bad suprise with this one i guess. there may be people who dont find it so bad, but these people would also enjoy a glass of cpt. morgan spiced rum (urgh)
