Just about good enough to drink neat. Very good value when on offer in M&S. Worth a try definitely

For a "supermarket rum" this has to be by far the best I have found so far.
Vanilla, caramel and so easy to drink. It's very light colour tells you it's not going to be overly sweet.
If anyone can recommend a "better supermarket rum", then please do.
All in all a great rum for the price.

This rum is very easy to drink on it's own. It's got a very smooth taste.
Lovely flavours, nice and smooth. Nice to sip, you can tell its a step above most supermarket offerings

I find the aroma of this rum misleading as it smells very dull. Upon tasting however it explodes in the mouth with an initial sweet vanilla and caramel hit. The rum then makes the tongue and tonsils tingle before leaving you with a warm liquorice after taste. I'm not an expert but the flavours in rums always seem better when sipped neat and at room temp rather than over ice which can make the rum rather harsh. Love this and the price is very reasonable.

In a different bottle for M&S.
Very very easy to drink. If the rum is from Foursquare then always a good start. I'm currently awaiting feedback from Plantation

The bottling of this rum makes you question it's worth as it is nothing special.
When you pour this into your glass it smells sweet and tropical. This rum has a good nose it invites you yo smell it.
When sipping it you're greeted with a sweet carmel like taste. You can taste the subtle oak taste but the sweetness has a nice balance. This rum can be enjoyed best straight with out ice. It will have cognac lovers questioning if it is a cognac but it is a rum and a damn good one too.
I have jusy finished my bottle I may get another bottle or two and keep them in stock as this is a good rum forits price.
A sweet but not overpowering smell.
"The rum tastes sweet and fruity without much oakiness or spicyness."

Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

I am pretty sure that this is just a rebranded version of their previous Bajan rum, with labelling being similar to the Guyanese and Jamaican rums that they released. Overly sweet, and somewhat unbalanced, although I can't quite work out whether is now has more cognac notes on it. I do feel that it would be better to cut out the sugar, but Ch Ferrand does like to sweeten their rums.
TBH there aren't that many traits that I would associate as a rum. If it didn't say rum on the label, then I might not even consider it to be one due to the sugar masking the fruit.
But......
It struck me this evening why I give it a 7 rather than something lower (which it really should have). It is very easy to drink and tonight I am in the mood to have a rum (of sorts!) that isn't going to test the taste-buds. I find myself reaching for this by default whenever I have it in the cupboard. Therefore it has a certain "je ne sais quoi" about it.
I seem to have finished my bottle pretty quickly and got another one. I am ever more convinced that it is a rebranded M&S Bajan rum of old.
