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.)

Very smooth with a nice bite in the end one of the best rums i have ever tried.

Aroma: honey or caramel, some dried fruit, overall very soft scent.

Taste: honey, caramel and dried fruit but after a while I felt very distinctive taste of wood, so what was sweet at the beginning, suddenly became dry. You will love the finish tho.

Overall: BUY IT, TRY IT. In my country this rum cost something about 25 € which is great price for that quality, and it is one of those rum you have to try. Highly recomend.

Reasonably priced and very reliable over ice and in mixed punch-like drinks.

Vůně prvně lehce chemoprén, následují citrusy, červené ovoce, vanilka, koření a dřevo.
Chuť ostřejší, nasládle dřevitá, lehce kouřová, pepř, vanilka, mírná tabáková nahořklost.
Dochuť vanilková, dřevitě lehce nasládlá, kořenitá.
Za cenu do 500,- Kč skvělý.

Not a ton of aroma on the front end but a sweet vanilla smell. Big punch of spice/flavor at the front end that is slightly harsh with a burn.

Kind of like 'Yellow Snake' from Jamaica, but less funky, less obtrusive but more harmless and boring. Cheap semi-dry shit with some glimpse of wood, watery, ethanolish... Mojo not found. Thankfully I didnt buy it, my friend did..

In my opinion a little bit flat. Tested only once. Maybe next time!

What a 'pirateish' bottle, rustic, kind you feels old. For full experience must be opened with teeth or thumb while holding sloop's helm:)

Some sherry oak aroma, maybe even charedd, bit of fruitiness (oranges?).
Sweet, but little too harsh on the throat, long woody aftertaste.
