I drank it in a whisky glass so not great. The smell is not great and it smell like a cheap mixing rum. Once you drink it it reacts like a bourbon. long taste but not complex at All. Just the taste of caramel lasting. The Finish is the part I don't like. Very plain. Only the caramel/ honey traste but no complexity

Udemærket rom til en billig pris. Lidt vanille smag, og en okay duft. Den er dog også lidt sprittet

A little harsh with some burn. Flavors don't really mesh together very well. A good rum to add to your mixed drink recipes. Sipping is ok, but much better mixed. Some nice flavor from the charred oak barrels is important. I'd spend more to get the extra Old instead.

Excellent rum for the price. Golden amber appearance with the nice aroma you want with your rum. Great with ginger bear or with coke. It also goes great in rum runners or a twist on a mojito.

Moi qui aime les rhum sucrés, j ai été très déçu. Il passe mal et n a rien d exceptionnel pour l amateur que je suis.

Lovely rum that sits on the fence of golden & aged, yet with the choice method of charring the Bourbon barrels to finish the ageing it has given the rum a heavier and more toned down mouth-feel reminiscent of darker or navy strength rum. however with only half the maturation time being spent in the charred barrels the rum still stays quite true to the brighter and fruitful qualities of a golden/aged rum.
The Nose gives a instant honey which brings in the heavy rich aroma of pot-still and molasses, which finally is topped off with a hint of oak and banana.
The Palate is shown much simpler, with sipping straight showing a large oaky presence giving it the heavy toned down mouth-feel which lasts, but at the same time displaying a range of ripe fruits, a mild underlay of spice and finishing with a smokey citrus orange.
Great in an Old Fashioned which brigs out those woody, citrus orange notes.

the simple fact about this rum is i get no taste no burn and no smell. i dob't even think that one could use this rum as a mixer simply because i could not pick up anything at all, i was pretty disapointed.

Didn't really taste like a good rum at all. Quite strong, slightly whisky-esque flavour. Couldn't enjoy it straight, and even when mixed the poor flavour still overpowers.

Well balanced flavour with long aftertaste. Very lillle nose but a caramel,vanilla and smoke wood taste. Easily sipped and makes an excellent rum and coke.

typický rum, výrazný surový, ale nikterak hrubý. chuť dokonale rumová, vyvážená. příjemně hřál. ale na mne málo ovocný, málo hravý. ale pitelný
