I have been looking at this at the local liquor store. This last visit they gave us a staste. Wow. The smell of banana hits you before the rum hits your lips. The smell is strong but it is not overpowering and tha flavour is milder than the aroma. The banana caramel and vanilla notes work well together. My liquor store canโ€™t keep enough of it they are always running out. It has its place, its nice to sip but I am looking forward to having it in a cocktail. Enjoy....I did.๐Ÿ˜‹

Does not taste bad, but in my eyes the "rum" taste is to much in the background, the taste of fruits is too strong

Sweet and tasty with a pinch of banana. I like it. Easy to drink.

If they made an air freshener I would buy it. Easy nose thatโ€™s complex. Banana, toffee, vanilla are the big 3 notes. Not spicy whatsoever, smooth and sweet from start to finish. You can tell itโ€™s a seasoned/modified rum but itโ€™s still an easy drinker. No ice required. I agree with someone else who said it was a hipster rum. Not really with the hipster thing, but a damn good starter rum for someone thatโ€™s never had one neat before. I wish it was 80proof here in the usa. To me it would be perfect if it was 84-90proof.

Sweet and tasty. It something else. Not a really great rum - BUT - it is interesting. Lots of banana and vanilla. Would recommend to try it if you are up for some long lasting sweetness

The scent is dominated by banana. The palate is overly sweet and the banana flavor is overwhelming. I mixed this with various soft drinks including coke and sprite. Sprite made it tolerable and coke turned into a juice. Lastly, the price is not right. Edit: Updating my rating from 3 to 1. As the bottle waited in my cabinet to be consumed, there was always literally anything else that I did rather drink.

We tasted several spiced rums, this is our favorite so far.

Very tough review. This tastes good. If you like banana it tastes great. It is smooth, thick and very flavorful. Coffee, vanilla and chocolate flavors. Small bite. Easy to sip. But do all these additives allow this to still be rum? If you consider Malibu, Blue Chair or Admiral Nelson rum then this definitely is too. And it tastes MUCH better. I give it an 8 because it is delicious, complex and easy to sip. Excellent pseudo rum!

Honestly among the worst rums Iโ€™ve tried. Tastes so overwhelmingly of banana and is a pretty adulterated rum all around.

Might make a decent cocktail but I havenโ€™t found a good use for it yet.

It is honestly not disgusting, but not good either. Just a barely average whatever Rum.
