One word fits this rum, BLAH! I like the 7yr but it's a hard find. The list is $42 & I found it at $36 so, Hey why not? Again BLAH!

The smell is promising but the alcohol just overpowers the taste, Shame could be a solid rum.

Looking to start my rum journey and this was ton offer so I took the plunge, a noticeable step up from a basic rum but not quite as sweet as I would like.

It’s good, it has a long lingering aftertaste but just a little too much toasted coconut on it. All in all a solid rum.

La couleur très brune m’a fait penser a un spicy mais son côté mielé lui apporte une douceur incroyable. A la fois très agréable et très complexe

This was probably one of the first nicer rums I purchased. As a tiki hobbyist, the Zombie recipe does call for a Column Still Aged rum and this one fit the bill. For that purpose, I find it to do quite well.

I do not find a ton of complexity in this rum but I also feel like that is more on my untrained, newer, palette than on the rum. Strongest note for me is that of brown sugar.

Update: As I have continued my rum journey, I find this rum to really be lacking. I think I originally gave it the 7 based on the age statement and having little comparison. Nowadays it just seems to lack the character I expect of a 12 and the mouth feel is super thin. Kind of a disappointment.

I'm with the group that doesn't get the high raters.
This rum shows nicely, bottle and color but that's where it ends.
The trend to woo whiskey drinkers by by aging in over burnt casks causes this rum to have a strong ashy flavor. The next morning it was like I was kissing an ashtray, I had to eat a half a tin of Altoids to over come it. When I think on the 25 they offer that is awesome, I can't understand why they would offer this.
I drink neat most of the time, I tired to save it by mixing down with sparkling water and lime but to no avail.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this but it was on my list to try so when I spotted it at a bar, I thought I might as well give it a go.
On the nose there was a bit of acetone, mixed with some caramel. The palate was more caramel but with some apple and woodsy notes, even though the mouthfeel was a bit thin.
Overall, not bad, possibly needed a bit more age or abv to give it another layer (though it has got me interested in the 18 and the 25 for sure).

This is a nice rum, especially if you drink it straight up. I think the ice shaking adds just enough water to make it taste good. Not quite as good as the 18yr, but I have to rate the same because of the price difference.
