70 proof of awefullness. I can’t even think of anything to mix this syrup with. Big bottle, big cork, big disappointment.

I read some initial reviews of this rum and it's XO counterpart by noted mixologists and was intrigued. Some things are better left that way. While visiting a friend on the other side of the states, I decided to make the purchase as no other rums were available at the store that I thought would work as a good mixer and a sipper too. Upon opening it for an initial sip to evaluate its profile and best use, I sadly realized the hype surrounding this rum was of completely overblown and the product was more an expression of added sugar and chemistry more than anything else. My guests I was mixing and were drinking with me, thought it in a better light than me. For me it was one and done and I was happy to leave the bootleg with my friends. Definitely not a sipper. I found using it in a frozen Pina Colada was partially successful, but only when paired with a strong floater to counter the sugar.

This rum is SUPER sweet, so it is recommended for you if you are in to that kind of sweetness, but not particularly for me. It would be a good mixer, but the price does not keep up with the value.

Aside from the current lawsuit and investigation on its statement of "rum" due to the extreme amount of additives and questionable aging. We have an extremely sweet and flavored rum. It's almost impossible to be lower then 3/10 with the sweetness. It's worse then Bacardi flat out.

This is a very tasty and aromatic rum, I would say that it is a dessert rum and is very suitable for women.

Quite a sweet taste, with a bit of vanilla and maybe banana?
Not my favourite but still quite a pleasant rum

A smooth rum and a pleasent drink but its floral notes are in excess for my liking i found the same for the Bumbu XO

Tastes like a diabetic leprechaun urinated maple syrup in my mouth! What a vile rum! It tastes nothing like rum! I was told by my millennial nefew that I was great....now I have to go find mix just to hide its taste. Garbage "Rum" for people who don't like Rum!
