I’m new to rum. So I’m still at the stage where I need rum to be smooth and a little sweet. I’m told this is sweet but I just can’t taste that sweetness as I’m overwhelmed with the strength and aftertaste.maybe down the road when I come back later I’ll enjoy it more but for now I’m just not ready.

Without a doubt one of the best rums that £30.00 will get you, an absolute crime if you mixed it, a real sipping pleasure. The taste is sweet spice with hints of fruit and caramel. You then get a mild to medium warmth from the alcohol as you swallow. When drank neat the flavors are intense and its quite smooth and easy to drink especially if you have a sweet tooth. Ice can dilute the flavour i found so drinking it neat for me is the way to go. The only downside is you have to show restraint as you could easily drink half the bottle in a evening.

A clean and rich aftertaste mixed with a good amount of oaky flavor.

En ok rom i en flot flaske. Den bliver bedre efter et stykke tid og er ganske fin.

I love Trinidad far rums that are aged. This rum has all the great notes I enjoy I. The Angostura 1824 without the heavy price tag. Drinking it neat is delicious and it also mixes really well in any drink. Very smooth, you can smell and tastes notes of molasses, caramel, and I don't know why but I also get nutmeg. Worthy of being stocked in your cabinet all year long.

This is something I try to have always stocked in my home bar. It has the intense Demerara flavor with vanilla and spice. I don't mind sipping it, but I also use it as a mixer.

En väldigt god rom, lätt att dricka och fin balans i smaken, känns inte riktigt mogen men väldigt god

En ce moment, j'ai son grand frère, le 15 ans, que j'aime beaucoup. Mais il faudrait que j'aie de nouveau les 2 ensemble, pour faire une comparaison valable.

Sweet, smooth and oaky. More like sirup. Complex Taste under the sugar hood. Vanilla Notes and Toffee smell. Old Fashion Ron. Reminds me on 7 year Havanna but Way better. Sipping recommended.
