One of my favorite everyday rum.
I could drink it for breakfast.

This one is readily available, and tasty, if not very complex

One of the simplest and easiest rums to get started!
It is a beautiful sipping rum before or after meals. Not a whisky taste as much as others but that’s what I love about it!
Just simply great. Smooth and great value. Must have

Heavy, reasonably sweet, and overall well done, but for the price ($35-40), I would go other directions.

Like liquid velvet smooth and dark. Sweet molasses with a little Carmel. It's the only rum I buy now.

Not sure my opinion counts for much, but this was the first proper rum I've bought (i.e. not Bacardi or Captain Morgan) to drink straight. I have never really drank spirits unmixed before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to drink.
Good enough to sip, Nose: molasses, candied prunes, vanilla, toffee and hint of sweet bean

A complex blend of Copper pot still rums aged for 12 long years, has a characterful nose, showing fruit cake, rum'n'raisin ice cream, cocoa, dried ginger, cinnamon and clove. Develops baked bananas with fudge sauce and chewy toffee notes alongside vanilla oak and a deeper note of syrupy gingerbread, with hints of orange zest. The palate evokes chocolate sauce and the sweet toffee, fudge and tropical fruit flavours from the nose. Flakes of Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange sprinkled over melted vanilla ice cream. Deep, vivid and extremely seductive flavours.
