I get subtle top notes of brown and icing sugars. Some dryness and wood, particularly on the finish. There's a little sweetness. It doesn't balance out the dryness, but does add a nice counterpoint. Appreciable burn on the long finish.

It's light in the way I'm beginning to associate with column stills. The second maturation has done its job of softening the dryness and adding another of flavour.

Overall though, its relative thinness, and the depth of its burn count against it. Right now, I'm much more drawn towards the Chairman's Reserve Legacy and the ED8, I have open alongside.
Right now it's a 5. Hoping I warm to it along the way.

Brugal is a dry rum and the 1888 is finished in a shery cask and is still to dry for me. But a great Mix

... well, not much else. Dry. Smooth. Not really memorable. Tried to find something to latch on to, couldn't get there. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing truly special either.

Burned sugar, vainilla, caramel, and a bit herbal. A bit of alcohol but fairly smooth. On the dry side, if you prefer dry rums this is a good option.

un rhum très doux. un gout de caramel, de chocolat et de canelle. franchement il est très bon, parmi les brugal c est le meilleur.

Clasat Rum. One can feel the rich cask taste from the moment the bottle is opened. Aromatic, matured rum, the woody white oak makes its presence felt throughout the sip, taste and aftertaste. Didn' t expect much from it but it really impressed me.

Great rum, luxury looking bottle, nice colour and full spicy tase that heatens your throat a long after swallowing

Quite dry and strong, but taste is good. If you like dry rums, this could be for you.

Maybe it's just my personal preference but I like my rums a bit sweeter than this. Otherwise it's enjoyable, just not my thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is our go to. Excellent at about $55. Very smooth, carmel, with some nutty notes.

Definitely the best rum that is readily available in the states.
