Really good mixer for just about anything. Good flavor that is present but not overpowering. Good value too. Don't need to overthink this one if u wanna mix. Just grab it and go.

It's an ok rum, and just that. The smell, somewhat tropical, is more pleasing than the taste. Poor for sipping, bad for shots, okay for mixing.

There is nothing remarkable here. Not that there pretends to be, but this is a somewhat bland, oily, and rather pedestrian rum priced to compete with Bacardi. It is smoother than Bacardi, with slightly more flavor, but for only a few dollars more you can get a vastly superior rum somewhere else on the shelf. It has an aged note with some vanilla, and a fleeting bit of funk, but this is a rum you buy when you want to make a drink with rum but not taste rum. Sold for $16 at a local liquor store at the time of my purchase a year ago, but now selling for $20. At $16 it's okay. At $20, keep looking.

Smooth for a lower price white rum. I get something of a rum flavor that almost appears before my mouth and insides are thoroughly disinfected. You get a slight gasoline aftertaste too. Bottle says it was aged...maybe they mean aged in the glass bottle before you buy it.

For $16 I'm not devastated.
