Good rum with no specific aroma and not so smooth finish. But stable body and good rum above the everyday level.

I tried to like it, as it's popular with newbs. But just ok for me.

My first rum from Dom. Rep. today :-). >Age is a secret, with sherry cask finish.
Nose : alcoholically, oak, smoke
Palate : oak in front, dark chocolate, an initial little sweetness gives way to bitterness. Hmm, not really tasteful. Not really nice. I miss the fruit from the sherry cask finish.
Put an ice cube in the glass. Caramell an honey are coming through. A little sweeter now and bettter than neat.
Finish : medium, salty and sweet notes from caramell and honey at once.
Conclusion : I don't konw if I should like him. Price round 30 Euro is okay but the taste is a little special and the finish doesn't scream loudly for another sip.

Насочено е към любителите на уиски. Не е толкова сладко, като други ромове, а е и отлежало в любимите ми шери бъчви.

Late September, 61 degrees & windy, storm coming. This rum hits right, big syrupy brown sugar aromas, gorgeous deep amber color. Warm vanilla on the palate. Just what I was looking for, very nice.

Al naso è alcolico e dolce con note di melassa, tabacco, un po' di barile, pelle e cacao.
Al primo sorso si sente la dolcezza(melassa/bourbon) poi si trasforma e diventa secco con note di sughero/legno, poi spezie e un po' di pelle/cuoio. Pecca un po' in profondità e complessità, ma è un piacere da sorseggaire.
Rapporto qualità/prezzo eccezionale.

This rum hits that perfect spot in terms of sweetness while not being overly sweet. Every sip just reminds me of sitting on a beach. And for the $40 CDN I paid its hard to beat for the price

Let's start off with the obvious, this is not a sweet run by any means and as others have posted below this follows more the characteristics of a Spanish or Cuban rum. This is an easy zipper with notes of cocoa powder and toasted tobacco, while there are characteristics of sweetness there, they present more as flavor notes less so leading players. I enjoyed sipping this over ice during a meal less so after one as this is not a dessert.

Good sipping rum. Not too sweet, good mouth feel. Bourbon drinkers looking for alternate sippers would enjoy this.

I recommend this rum to lovers of less sweet, dry rums. But I feel too much cellar smokiness in it for my taste.
