This rum is one of if not the best rums I've had, and has amazingly sweet notes of fruits, vanilla and molasses. It's also fairly cheap, at $45CAD per bottle. It easily rivals rums at double its price point.

I've tried a few rums, but this one for the price is tough to beat.

This is my current favorite, it’s a mouthful of goodness - I love to use this as a mixer or sipper. It is delicious in a Canton Breeze - ❤️

Extremely rich flavor, very smooth, great color, everything you want in a rum. To call it the Cadillac of rums would be to overestimate Cadillacs. I prefer it even to the 15 and 21 and it's as cheap as the intermediate rums of its competitors.

Absolute perfection for a mai tai...this is my “go to” rum at the core my mai tai.

I think this was the result of a pissing contest between Odin and Zeus. Result 'nectar' of the gods.

For me the 12 yo is a better taste (from recollection ) in comparison to the 15 and 22 yo. Silky smooth and sweet. I know it's nit a descriptive review on flavours and textures but it gets my vote
