The age label on th rum is most typically associated with "mixer only" blends. I picked this up simply because I generally like Dominican rums (and had never seen this one in the LCBO) , but I was prepared to be underwhelmed.
However, drinking this straight up was very pleasant. Not an aggressive taste, but subtle and lingering spice. No alcohol burn or fake sweetness I would typically find in a young rum.
Hope this becomes regular stock !

Nice. Reallllly nice...
Smells like vanilla and butterscotch, with some oakiness to it, and tastes basically the same. The butterscotch hits a huge swell on the finish though before the oak comes back. Very smooth. Somewhat sweet. It's basically Kirk and Sweeney, but younger, with a little sugar. WHICH IS FREAKING AWESOME!!
Yes, this rum lacks power. No, it's not unique. But guess what?? It's super friendly, can be sipped or mixed, and it's $25 a bottle. What part about that can you not love??

I liked the look of the bottle which inspired me to try it. I liked it and look forward to trying the more agee versions.

Initial impression was just Ok - 6 score rum. Giving 7 for. It is not complex, but solid and has delicious Dominican spirit. Spicy and not yet too sweet it's ok for occasional sip and\or for cocktail.

A bit sweet but priced well. This is a relatively new rum that capitalized on hints of vanilla and butterscotch to an otherwise basic flavor.

Anyone who's has Bumbu Original and thought it too sweet would enjoy this rum. Similar in taste, but far less sweet. Alcohol is very present in this rum, which will warm you up on those cooler nights on deck. Decent tasting, great price, perfect for the crew members you want to hang onto.

Bottle is solid but not too heavy, labeling is intriguing and I love corked bottles. Smell reminds me of my youth. On drinking, it is very warm all the way through. Texture is rather oily/smooth, and the taste is of butter. I don't notice the sweetness very much, though it is there. The aftertaste of age with a trace of vanilla lingers after it goes down. I very much enjoy this rum.

Slightly above average, nothing special but has no major disadvantages.
