A nicely balanced rum that is sublimely smooth, my go-to rum in a pinch.

On the sweet side, nice Demerara, hints of vanilla, caramel and fruit.

Really versatile, with the price can mix or sip. I generally sip though

My favourite sipper. I'm out right now and I'm missing not having a bottle.

I tried the 5, 8, 12, 15 & 23 at the UK rumfest the 12 was the most enjoyable ..... But that was a lot of rum in one hit and without drinking a whole bottle of the 15 and not being able to afford the 23 it's hard to be sure...

There is nothing wrong in this rum... only that there are better ones out there... But it's a very good sipping rum. No need for ice.

Très bon rhum mais clairement y'a meilleur. Ça reste néanmoins un rhum à avoir dans son bar. Meilleur que le 15 ans même si ce dernier est plus capiteux en bouche le 12 est plus subtil et parfumé.

Nice rum to sip. Smooth and a little too sweet in the end but still very pleasant. Good price/quality ratio.
