I enjoy black rums, this one sets the standard for a dark and stormy. Other than that, it falls a bit short. Still an alright bottle but, not my choice of flavours. Also pairs well floated on a pina colada if you want something different.

Introduced to me by my bro-n-law, this was the first rum I had after the dark times (first marriage). Not bad neat, but a better mixer. This is one of my standard goto rums (along with Mount Gay Eclipse, Appleton's Estate/Signature, & Brugal Anejo).

This is a nice rum but strictly for mixing since as a sipper it really doesn't offer anything but a fairly basic taste profile.

Found it had a weird taste, not something I like. Luckily I tried it at a bar and not stuck with a bottle

Everywhere else you'll be asking yourself "how much did I spend on this shit?" Unless you're on the island or on a cruise to the island, don't bother.

I tried this at a friend's house on a hot day. He put ice in my glass before I had time to ask him for it "neat"! I sipped it as the ice melted and found that I rather liked it.

Sipped this one neat. First impression is good, but after a while I wanted another rum. Might be good in cocktails.

Krasne barevny s prijemnou vuni krasne nalaka. Po ochutnani je trosku stiplavejsi. Mozna bude prijemnejsi po dvou a vice sklenickach. Nevadi ale dalsi lahev asi nekoupim.
