Nice sipper, a bit sweet (I know it has a lot of added sugar) but for my personal taste it's bearable. Hints of oak, vanilla and orange peel. Good for a night with few friends or just by yourself. Very good for beginners, no burn at all.

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

Nepříliš výrazná nebo specifická vůně. Chuť pouze sladká. Trochu fádní.

I bit harsh to sip but with a touch of Sprite is has a smooth woody taste with a caramel finish. Very nice.

I may be a bit of a hard grader, but this didn't impress. A bit spicier than I had expected.

A lot of fruit in the nose, smooth taste of caramel, a good choice for this price.

Definitely a quality aged rum, but there's nothing in particular that really makes it stand out.

Similar smell and taste as Ron Zacapa. Smooth and little bit sweet.
