This rum became one of my favourite.
It is not very sweet (I like them sweet), but is still unique and very smooth.
You can smell and taste oak structure, old wood and slight burning spicy like aftertaste.
It is quite unique and not so easy to get around here.

A gift from a friend who was recently in Aruba (Sweet Jesus that's a good friend!!!)
Just a damn fine sipping rum. I don't find it overly sweet (ala Diplomatico), and definitely smell and taste the finish in sherry casks which I enjoy.
I'd buy this puppy again...guess I'll be heading to Aruba one day as I can't get this in Alberta.

Too sweet but smooth, add +1 if you like them sweeter. Coca-Cola nose ImMediate sweetness on the taste, tiny burn on the finish

This is the blend of Caribbean sorts and it feels like 68% of them are Panamanian, and the best Panamanian.
Absolutely smooth, warm and easy to drink.
Pretty complex spectrum of taste, fruity and some chocolate. Few notes of wood and\or smoke.
Aftertastetastetaste... long and pleasant.
Nothing to complain about, it's just happiness!

Papiamento rum from Aruba is the best rum I have ever tasted. Soft smooth taste. It’s a blended rum aged in sherry barrel. Yammi!!

I've had a sample of this nice light rum before (first impression very good, but not that overwhelming) some degu but bought a first bottle a couple of months later. Rebought again in a couple of mounts, during my "funky overproof era".
The aroma is nice but somewhat week, wood, ethanol, fruity tones. But aroma is just secondary for me. The taste is not super complex or super long but I loved the balance of sugar, fruit, rounded taste and hint of sherry (dominant taste) finish without being overly sweet (Dos Maderas 5+5) or even worse, overly sherryish (red Emperor rum).
After funky Smith & Cross (discovered a tad later) this is possibly the best rum I've had at its lets say average price level (<1000 CZK/€40), along with somewhat similar Vizcayas (another quiet smell but great taste easy sipper) or Dos Maderas 5+5 (sweeter and more "buttery").
Resembling (+/- same quality level, maybe slightly "worse"): Unhiq XO, Cartavio XO, Mboha Strand or Cihuatan NiktΓ© (which all were pricier, sometimes way pricier). Definitely recommended, especially to beginners or "easy sippers"; even people who dislike added-GPL items could like this as a starter.
This masterpiece rum simply "sips itself". Simply an ethalon how commercial sherry cask rum (with some hints of wood) should ideally taste like.
Later on I downgraded to 9/10 as not so interesting for me anymore but arguably great material for broad masses. Kind of rum you can offer to (almost) anyone and do not disappoint.

Well, what more to say than a good, very structured rum, good taste, good smell, not much more to say, just try it, a good premium rum.

Well rounded, balanced and easy yo drink. Unique blend of Caribbean rums. Aged up to 15 years. Love the fact that is finished in Sherry casks
