I had read a lot about this flavored rum...sort of a mixed back. Sounded like one I would like to try and finally found a bottle while in Jacksonville.

According to their website the rum is infused with Bourbon vanilla, citrus, and orchid petals.

Orchid petals?

Now that's a first.

The rum itself is a light straw color with an interesting vanilla extract type aroma. The flavor is heavy on the vanilla which I happen to like. It does have some sweetness that may indicate some sugaring. I cannot find a definitive answer to that. I do taste the vanilla...can't miss it...and there seems to be a citrus undertone but I have no idea of how orchid petals taste so if it's there I don't detect it. It comes in at a typical 80 proof (40% ABV) but does not have a burn. Instead it has a slow warmth that seems to take forever to fade leaving a very vanilla finish. This would make for a good sipping rum but if you really like vanilla flavoring. If not, use this in mixed drinks where I think it has its greatest strengths. This rum, with its emphasis on vanilla, might be an excellent choice for rum ball and for baking.

Its nice straight up or with coke but probably on par with rums that cost about £10 less. The vanilla flavour isnt overly strong but overall quite smooth and tasty.

oui, pourquoi toute cette vanille ajoutée???
on devine un rhum très jeune, avec de l'arome de vanille.
Mais trop pour moi, je suis déçu peut être a réserver aux cocktails???
tout a été mis sur le design a mon sens

Enjoyable in certain drinks but for me, it's a mood rum.....

A golden thick spiced rum, the vanilla in this is quite slight, sips nice over ice and goes well in a mix.

I wasn't sure what to make of a rum made out in the Indian Ocean, but I really liked the taste. It's a bit different than what I'm used to, but it really grew on me. A fine sipping rum.
