This was the first really good rum I placed upon my palate. I always thought that rum just naturally went with coke and that was just the way it was. NOT! This is an excellent Rum, I have been drinking it for 15 years and either my taste has changed or may be it is just not as good as it was originally. Anyhow, still great, I like it neat or once in a while will drink it 1:1 with coke over ice. Beautiful color and nice bottle presentation.

This is another favorite of mine, almost on the same level as Diplomatico. This was my first top shelf rum, so it's safe to say it got me interested in the world of rum. It's very smooth, almost no burn, and hints of caramel, vanilla, and oak.

Sweet, Very Sweet

Nice as a dessert rum, very sweet (heavy vanilla in particular) and smooth. Can't have more than one or two, though. Can taste the Trini/Angostura influence through and through, as this is basically 1919 with more vanilla and a bit more oak.

Had this one chilled and neat. It was full bodied, warm and smooth with a stronger vanilla flavor than most.
