This used to be much, much better - Now it is ok, and enjoyable. Bourbon cask offers vanilla (natural kind - not added essence), molasses, dried fruit, a bit creamy in character. Delivers - with no additives. I cannot help think it is filtered and blended a bit too much.

This is a great introduction to proper unadulterated rum for the masses. Skip all the sugar laden supersweet tosh and reach for this instead. Top of its weight class in the experience for value but would struggle in taste profile against the Foursquare ECS, Velier Hampdens or WPs. Hence the rating of 8. Nothing too complex (smooth as a taste profile is not something i rate highly) but interesting enough to justify its position as one of the better rums for the daily dram.

Ordered this neat at a casino bar in Las Vegas. Was served to me in a plastic cup, which did not prevent me from enjoying it.

This rum is not complex. It simple, but what’s there of is very high quality. If that makes any sense.

A good choice to sip on.

Oak and toffee in the nose with a hint of tobacco. On the tongue it greets with caramel, transitions to toffee, and ends with a smooth slight oak. Overall an exceptional rum!

Doftar vanilj, ek och mild sprit. Inte alls söt men inte heller helt torr. Lite lätt funky fruktsmak av banan och ananas.

Good but not great. Had a good vanilla smell but the taste was too sharp.
