40% ABV. Supposedly a blend of rums 5–7 years old.

This is one of those rums that simply met (or just exceeded) my expectations; no real surprises. There is typical caramel/brown-sugar/molasses/oak on the nose. This rum is full-flavored, very smooth, and only lightly sugared. At 80 proof, it's a bit light on firepower, but overall it's a fairly well-balanced package.

This rum, I imagine, would be equally serviceable as a mixer or sipper, and for that reason is recommendable to those with limited shelf-space. (I would also recommend RL Seale's Finest 10-year.)

Morbido e rotondo con note di caffè, cacao e qualcosa di speziato/tannico

I've given up on trying different rums. I've tried enough to know what I like and stick with it. I drink Flor de Cana 7 because it's the best I can get in a 1.75 L bottle. This one is a s good as that but I can't buy it even at Total Wine so it earns a good rating based on my tasting, but it loses a little since I can't buy it.

Fine rum in a variety of classic cocktails, didn't stand out in a good or bad way. Not sure I'd buy it again just to prioritize more interesting things.

Very acceptable mixing rum with lime and tonic. Very happy to find it in Sarasota !

So a 7 for me although I can understand some ratings a bit lower. As a few have mentioned this rum does seem a bit flat and depth is lacking a little but still I cannot find anything really bad to say. And for well under $30 it is priced fairly. Semi-sweet and a little dry nothing tastes artificial either. I am not disappointed.

This is a fantastic rum with at a ridiculously low price! It has a well balanced and smooth taste with vanilla and oak notes. A perfect rum for every day. Especially with this price (20 EUR).

It’s nothing extraordinary but it’s a great rum for what it is. A go to for either mixing with Coke or even neat. A very mild nose hints of oak and slight cinnamon. Not the smoothest sip but not harsh either. Light and warms the mouth. Notes of vanilla and oak on the sip.

Mooie rum. Goed van smaak
Boozy in de mond. Afdronk is zacht. Kost niks🤷

Brings heavy flavor but never overwhelms. Remains consistently enjoyable from start of the bottle to the end. Great value for the price.
