I had some expectations of this rum. Unfortunately they didn't come true. The nose has quite some alcohol in it, but it's not bad. It smells sweet enough with caramel and vanilla. The taste is quite strong to my opinion. I like sweet rums, but this one didn't live up to that.
Today I tried a mix with coke zero and that works out quite well. A bit expensive for a mixing rum (over 30 euro). Better to get the El Dorado Dark (which is unfortunately not available anymore in The Netherlands) for mixing.

First impression in smell is a lot of oak. I have a small oak barell, used for wine and spirits. It is not burnt inside. In this rum I smell and taste a lot of this natural oaky taste, perhaps too much. After the glass is finished, I smell a very pleasant dose of honeycombs.

God rom, der næsten altid bliver drukket mere end et glas af.

C'est un rhum corsé en bouche qui laisse place à des saveurs de fruits et épice.

This rum is good all around, this a go to neet or mixed and it's priced pretty well too. Sample on.
So smooth, poor on ice, get comfortable and enjoy the smoothness! My favorite rum at the moment!
This is my go to rum and for good reason at $32-35 a bottle CDN you can't go wrong, I have turned a lot of friends onto this rum and most of them whisky drinkers. It's good mixed or straight personally I pour some into my Glencairn at room temperature let it breathe for a few mins.
Nose: fruity, oak and baking spices
Taste : heavy on the brown sugar, oak, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg
Throat: sweet and spicy and quite smooth

I agree with this review .T"his rum is very excellent in the glass and the nose is very smooth. First sip will hit your mouth with baking spice and orange peel with a hint of other fruits. The spice calms down a bit and leaves a lovely caramel flavor coating on the tongue. Burn is very minimal and is a very smooth rum"
