Sweet flavor and not much else but alcohol burn. Would work as a mixer.

To sweet. Not much flavor wise besides molasses. Slightly sweeter than both Gosling's and myers, but not enough to be noticed in tikis, party punch, or holiday drinks.

Tasted in the nipper bottle from Total Wine on 8-29-23. Auburn brown in color, Slight funk with a bit of burned rubber to the aroma. Flavor is surprisingly adequate for a 99 cent rum. Not very sweet at all yet some roasted caramel emerges from the mild band aid notes. Medium pepper tongue tingle that lasts in a bit of a tongue numbing finish. Not horrible for the price.

Tasted at the Forbidden Hole August 29 2023
Appearance: amber
Aroma: this smells like blackberries
Flavor: omg is something wrong with me? I taste the worst cough syrup ever plus band aids plus blackberry liqueur, all in the worst possible way.
My face is scrunched up from the yuck-o flavor and I can't get er back to normal.

This was much better than I expected for a rum at this price point. It has a nice color and decent flavor. Not too sweet with a little bit of burn. I let it breathe a while before trying, so it had mellowed a bit. I would say this is even borderline sippable, and very nice over ice.

This may be compounded after first tasting Diplomatica. In comparison, the flavor begins weak, while the aftertaste is a strong scratch down the throat.

Spent under $5 for two 50ml trial size bottles at TW. I was not expecting much but after letting this rum breathe for 15 minutes I am really not that disappointed. Nice dark amber color. Aroma was a bit sweet and woody with very little alcohol burn. Taste was a bit flat and sweet with a little burn but really not bad. Will never win any awards but for a bottom shelf rum it really is not too bad.

This has a great color. Quote full and rich. Big black walnut and wood flavors. A little harsh. Not much finish. But this has a real glimmer of hope. Not bad.

Saw this โ€œnewโ€ rum on the shelf at Total. Not a bad price so grabbed a bottle. Got home and poured my a taste and then looked it up here. It was not listed. So I did some research.
The company that imports and bottles is a big company that also does Cane Island and several others. This was not listed on their site - I guess too new.
As for the drink itself, nice dark rich color. Sweet on the nose. A bit of a burn holding it, but the taste is smooth and mellow. Actually not bad. Most likely will be a mixer for me.
