This is designed for mixing. You can enjoy this neat but it's fairly mild. I would not let it sit around or breathe, it will open too much and you will lose a lot of distinction for the aromas. It will morph into a hard to discern sweetness with a bit of caramel. Spend 10 minutes with a glass, not half an hour or more IMO.
Comparatively, I like the El Dorado 8 Year a bit more than this. Similar price / age between the two. Common trend between the two brands seems to be ED will have more flavor, but will be less smooth than FDC. At least my opinion so far between the 7/8, 12, and 15/18 matchups this has held true. Smoothness is preferred for a lot of mixing, but neat I don't mind giving up some smoothness for the extra flavor if it's noticeable.
I like a rum with a smoky and warm finish. Good to drink neat on a drizzly day. My first rum from this company and certainly worth appreciating.

Good everyday rum, not to expensive to mix up, and still ok to sip.
Este ron es recomendable para tomar solo, buen sabor, suave.
It’s a little disappointing that this rum is so anonymous in a magnificent bottle. It’s a ok rum, nothing more.

Good quality! Well-rounded, not spiced, good nose, too. The aging was just right. You could sip it.
Some good things come from Nicaragua. Dunhill cigars are made there, too. Would be a rewarding combo.

Geest rum with coke. It doesn't have crazy flavours of taste but still very good!

If you like aged rum but you don't want to get yourself drawn into fruits and Sweetness, this is an excellent choise . You will enjoy every zip to the end. With a dry taste either you like it or you don't.

Dry rum from fermented molasses

This rum has a classic amber hue and a very nice aroma which does not lead one to think of molasses. Kind of a minor paradox.
The flavor does have some of that molasses taste to it but still keeps itself on the dry side. A hint of sweetness initially combined with a nice vanilla flavor swiftly revealing oak undertones and some pepperiness. Surprisingly mild warmth rather than a burn. The finish is dry and has some of the oak tannin bitterness which fades slowly. There are clearly other flavors present but I'm not able to distinguish them adequately. For a 7-year rum this is rather smooth. Borderline sipping rum for me but I recommend trying it as a sipper as well as a mixer. Definitely a rum to have in one's cabinet. Complex and delightful.
