This rum was nice and makes a good mixer, but it does not stand up to it's older brother.
Complex, rich & spicy
Hints of caramelized nuts, cedar, mocha. Aftertaste of banana ?
Recommend for sure especially as this price point . Better mixed
Never heard of this rum and still not sure who makes it, but this is a good / inexpensive Barbados rum.
This rum has a nice golden colour. Unfortunately, the sweet rum scent was overpowered by a smell of rubbing alcohol. I was surprised that it tasted fairly mild (little burn) when sipped straight, and even better with some ice which took some of the harshness away.
This rum makes a really good "clean and simple" rum and cola.
Initially I thought this was a 6, but given that I keep going back I will give it a 7. Taste profile somewhat similar to K&S 12 or Pampero, not as thick, nor sweet as either one of those two. Notes of vanilla, leather and vintage trunk. You may want to say, that is an awful description, but in the back of the palate it tastes very nice.
Decent sipper, good mixed with coke. Vanilla, sweet.
We found this nice Barbados rum at Total Wine in Florida, on our neighbors recommendation. Not too sweet, and doesn’t seem to have much sugar added. I like this on ice or with diet cola. I suspect it originally came from
R.L. Steele distilling, since the bottler sourced this already aged.
I haven’t compared to the 8-year.
Couldn’t find out what “896” might represent! It’s not country code or area code,
at first i was iffy, but the more i drank it, the more i liked it. definitely a little different then what i was expecting / used to, but not bad. probably won’t buy this specific blend again, but i don’t dislike it. so 6/10 seems fair. 100% a mixer to me as well.
I was so impressed with my new bottle of 896 8-Year after a month that I went back to Total Wine to restock that one and get this one to compare side by side. Well, the 8-Year still stands head and shoulders above this one. Then it came time for the overall ranking of this one. I compared it to my Doorly's 5 Year, which narrowly edged this one out, and at half the price. I no longer see any reason to buy this rum unless the store is out of Doorly's 5 Year and 896 8-Year. It still rates as a 5, but there is simply way too much competition out there.
Update: This is the first rum that I have tried that can ruin a perfectly good coconut water and a perfectly good cola (separate drinks, of course). Since it is not good enough to sip neat or on the rocks, I desperately tried mixing it with a very good ginger ale. That saved it. So I cannot recommend this rum, but highly recommend it's 8 Year older brother. The two are like night and day.

Decent flavor

Decent rum, better as a mix than sipping. The 896 8 year is a much better sipping.
