What I like most when I look at my bottles is when I can call for a particular drink, such as I want a "bumbu and coke". Meaning that the rum itself has such a distinct flavor I can discern it from the others. That's what a truly good rum should be able to do. This rum is deep complicated and rich in a flavor not like anything I have had before kind of flavor either. Something like a banana-cinnamon. Now the only reason keeping me back from 10/10 is the fact it isn't 80 proof. It's 70 proof. Which makes it cheating a little compared to the other rums so I knock a point off. Extremely smooth. This could probably be used as a contact solution no problem, it's just that smooth. Extremely high value for price. Would recommend in any drinking combination.

It is tasty to most of the visits. Great alcohol to spare and call "rum". Not too expensive, nor crazy cheap but better than to pour rums twice the taste to waste on someone who thinks best "rum" is Captain Morgan:)) sweet, maybe too much for some. Banana everywhere...Still not that bad

This rum was recommended to me by my favorite liquor store. The owner is an whiskey and rum fanatic. And his judgement was spot on. This rum is really soft. With a hint of banana in it. Bit sweet. And at this point my favorite rum. Great for drinking pure.

I am just starting to get into rum drinking, and I'm already sorry that I chose this one to try early on. First of all, if this is what people consider smooth or extremely sweet, I'm going to make a very poor rum drinker! It was not smooth to me at all, nothing like I expected, and I definitely get the artificial banana flavor people have mentioned. I do like the bottle a lot, and tried it on the recommendation of the staff since they didn't have what I was actually looking for. Very disappointed.

I am no rum expert, but I do enjoy many different rums and find this one to be pleasant. It is a little expensive for what it is, but I like the aroma and the flavor for sipping.

This rum is not a true aged rum , way too sweet for me.

New to rum sampling, but this is one of the smoothest rums I have ever tasted. Candy type tastes but not as sweet tasting as other lower value runs I have tasted. Great rum to show off to company.

Heavily adultered rum that tastes as fake as it is. The flavor notes include sugar, more sugar, and a little cinnamon. Boring and inoffensive at best, gross and disingenuous at worst.

Strong sweet banana flavour.
Tastes good over ice.
However in small quantities too sickly.
Stunning bottle
