Arôme léger de mélasse
Rappelle quelque chose de toasté
Brûlure de l'alcool présente.
I would say, this rum falls into average group. Not bad but nothing special either.

If you let it breathe for a while, you are not going to feel alcohol at the beginning, and then you can enjoy whole range of taste and aroma. Which is complex and dry - I would say "difficult". Recommendable to non-beginners :)
A lighter dark blend with hints of black barrel ageing. I was hoping for more of those gingerbread and toffee notes the bottle mentions. Easy to enjoy neat, would not advise against it.
I found this very rounded and a mellow sipper. Also great in a cocktail. Usually I drink whisky, now I’m searching for rum without or only few sugar.
Lots of flavour, surprised me with very matured taste, cask comes through quite fast. The following evening it tasted maybe even better, maybe a hint toward Cognac in flavour but with much more cask, also hints of whiskey. Long and round aftertaste, really enjoyed it. Very complex taste. Not to sweet, maybe with a taste of caramel as well. Low price and great value, will absolutely buy this again.

This is fairly smooth with a small bite at the end but the flavor is decent. While it's still a moderately proofed rum, it's more powerful than some. That said, it's semi-sweet with a nutty flavor. All that adds up to a very solid rum. Definitely worth trying.

Tried this side by side with the Mount Gay XO and this was a clear winner with the charred casks adding more complexity and flavor. cinnamon and vanilla spice, very unique. Great value.

A light and fruity sweet aroma. Light flavor, not very thick, with a burn on the back. Not bad, but have had better.

This is a medium-dark rum with very nice taste qualities, perhaps a little frustrating as it's not the best for sipping, though it avoids the heavy molasses qualities of many dark rums. I use it as top-off or for creating some mixed rums, and I find it combines well with some light rums like Cruzan Light (I will use it this way in a dry mojito), and to bring up the overall flavor particularly last-minute when you've run out of better rums. It's still a little expensive but I like it much more than the slightly less expensive Mount Gay offerings. Overall I think it's a worthwhile general rum to keep on your bar-shelf even if you don't use it as an everyday rum.
