Cez tmavé sklo človek nevidí, čo sa skrýva vnútri, no pomerne vysoké ratingy doslova vyzývali skúsiť aj tento rum s kovbojsky znejúcim názvom. Vôňa je dosť výrazná a hutná, farba skôr tmavšia, takmer sivohnedá. V chuti je okamžite poznať dlhšiu dobu zrenia, dominuje teda dubové drevo, koža, oriešky, časom ma určite napadnú aj ďalšie tóny. Drink je sladší, dosť "ťažký" a silný, no bez zbytočného burnu. Vôňa sa okamžite rozlezie po všetkých vnútorných dutinách, záver je dlhý. Toto je v danej cenovej kategórii naozaj kvalitka, určite patrí k tomu najlepšiemu, čo som pil. Bez debaty budem skúšať aj súrodencov z vyšších, ale aj nižších poschodí.

Too good to mix. Wonderful oaky, vanilla rum. Best on ice.
Really enjoy this smooth rum easy to drink with ice. Not too expensive, recommend this rum highly.

I normally don't really care about the quality for the money comparisson. But this is one i have to mention. Its a great sipping rum and for that price it's a serious winner. Sweet, vanilla with a great smell. After the sip it has a little punch, which is great. You cant go wrong with this one.

Has a very sweet taste as most mention, which I don't mind but this is not my favorite. Not a bad rum but was a bit let down considering for the price point you can get much better.
A very good quality rum at a good price. I highly recommend

This was kind of an impulse buy, because of the lovely packaging and the glasses that came with it. Maybe not the smartest move to buy only judging on the outside, but I think the aesthetics are part of the experience too.
Opening the bottle and getting the first smell after pouring didn't impress me. A short sniff gives a sweet and orange'y smell, but stay longer and it gets overpowered by a gasoline-like smell.
Tasting it there is orange, oak, smoke and sweetness. Also right at the beginning there is a very slight hint of that gasoline I smelled before. (Edit: after trying it again, but this time in a sherry glass, I find it much more enjoyable. The larger sips of a tumbler didn't work with this rum for me. I'm picking up a nice caramel now) The finish is sweet, oaky and smokey.
I payed €30 for the bottle including the two glasses, which was the same price as the bottle alone. At this price point I would probably not buy it again, but it has made me curious about the 8 year, as that bottle should be a bit cheaper.
