This rum has a clean aged rum flavor, though it's easy to find a similar tasting rum at a lower price.

Quite enjoyed a bottle of this rum (second one is waiting at the back of my Rum hiding stash)
I find this to be a dryer much less sweet rum than say Diplomatico ER or ED 12. And that’s just fine, as variety is nice.

I'm lucky to be captured by Mr Blackwell.
This can be reference for rum, at least for Jamaican rum. Funky and well balanced funky one. Almost no feel of alcohol, just ripped fruits, vanilla, touch of wood.
Sugar vs dry: perfectly well in between.
Delicious on nose, on palate and 15B years long aftertaste.
Buy 2x007, you won't reglet )

Usualy you do not expect much from something connected to marketing. But the experience was like for something of league up (including price). From both nose and taste, elegant. Decent bite. Jamaica as I had chance to try. I like it. I definitely recommend get a bottle and give a try. Maybe two as I just order second one :)

Much better than Black Gold Reserve ! Aroma is nice, smooth with brown sugar and honey tones. Taste is sweet, but not too much with dominating caramel and vanilla. On palate you can recognize also slight funky Jamaican tones :-) Aftertaste is longer with coconut and tropical fruit. Very nice surprise for only 2-4y old rum.
Great funky aromatic taste. Oranges and tropical foilage can be tasted as well as sweet sugar. My favourite dark rum. Second bottle

Mer funky i näsan än munnen, men lite finns. Väldigt mild, lite om någon bränna. Karamellig och lite fruktig. Ganska kort eftersmak.

Tonight’s Rum, Blackwell 007 Jamaican. This rum was inspired by both the fact that Ian Fleming live in Jamaica and the movie No Time to Die. I had thought to buy this rum myself but held off thinking the branding was too gimmicky.
In the glass this rum is substantially dark. It give’s me the impression that it’s packed with demerara flavours. My fave by the way. The nose or bouquet of the rum is complex almost indiscernible. I get orange, chocolate and a hint of tobacco, but there’s more spices in there. The alcohol portion puts it square in the rum family and even a novice rum drinker would get that.
The first sip on the lips, puts honey on my mind but that quickly fades to reveal a delicate blend of essences. An earthy orange peel, dry brown sugar, some vanilla and a smidge of banana and allspice. A bit of white pepper closes it out. Overall I think it’s more dry than sweet and pairs nicely with a Cadburry Premium Dark Chocolate. I find the dark chocolate sweeter than the rum.
In the throat, it’s easy, not big burn. It’s moderate to mild and and likely and easy sipper for most drinkers. The finish is where I find this rum lacking. It’s sour and musky and a bit on the dry side for me. I realize that some people might like it that way. So I’ll leave that up to you.
It’s a strong 8 out of 10, because I like a sweeter, richer, rum. Could be served neat or in a cocktail like a Rum Sour or Mait Tai. This rum is number 362 of my 500 rum goal.
