Fantastic nose on this one, and a wonderful smooth, oaky flavour to follow. You really can't go wrong with this. Easily better than pretty much everything else in it's price bracket in Western Canada (~$45).

A solid option in the ~$50 range. Not too sweet, not too dry. A little oak, a little molasses, a little ripe banana. Finishes smooth. Hard to find any major faults, but lacking the outstanding merits of others in this range.

Has a great spicy aftertaste that lingers on the tongue like cinnamon but is not over powering. It's pretty smooth too and easy to drink. Not overly sweet, the sweetness feels natural and not like they dumped sugar in it after the fact. That's the why I like it. It's one of my favorites in it s price range along with Zafra, Monty Gay XO, and El Dorado 15yr. Not as sweet as those, but a bit more spice to it. Great change up sipper.

Deep spice, OAK, touch of wine sweetness?, tar, bitterness

Esters? Nope, very much Spanish.

It has a mustiness similar other Brugal offerings ive had

The rum seems tired, lacks strength, too bitter. If not much else, deep oak is pleasant

Its not bad, its just not what I want from my rum anymore

I love this rum. I tried it for the first time at a rum festival and i found it to be balanced and unique.

It's a nice rum but just not worth the price. While you can taste that it has been aged twice and it gives this rum quite a unique style It just doesn't quite come off. It will slide down smoothly though and you'll finish it quickly if you let yourself.

Dry, not too sweet, I find it a really good sipper. Bought it on sale ($5 off), good stuff!
