Good, not great. Balanced flavors. Will drink neat but don't feel it's so special that I wouldn't be willing to drink on the rocks. Good "bargain" aged rum.

Sladší rum, příjemně se pije. Výborný poměr cena x kvalita. Rád koupím další lahev.

I found this to be best rum for the price ($32 CDN). Nothing comes close in the price range.

I have mixed feelings on this one. Taste was not very soft and taste was not well balanced. I expected more from this bottle but this is matter of opinion.

Its the first rum i tried in the 12 year range and its a good one.
This rum has a nice medium dark colour and the smell is very soft and smooth.
The taste is sweet, maybe a bit to sweet but after you have it for a second in our mouth the stronger rum taste is overruling and you feel the alcohol a bit. in the end the smooth and sweet aftertaste is finishing the show.

certainly a very nice rum for sipping and a good price ( €24) for a 12 year old one.

I like it. It has an oak taste that seemed a bit hard initially but leaves a nice after taste
