The first thing you can say about this drink is that it definitely has plenty of banana. I hesitate to call it rum. As others have said it's more of a banana/vanilla liqueur. The first sip confirms the aroma.... with a bunch (no pun intended) of banana and vanilla. Warming and then a slightly bitter banana (surprise) finish. I don't think I'd want to have to drink this very often.

There is not really much if any rum character that I can find in this. Too much spice, banana, vanilla etc. It's sweet but not sugary if that makes sense. The flavor of the drink coats the palate and lingers on and on. The longer I sit here with it next to me the more I dislike it. The aroma is overpoweringly banana. I like sweet rums, dry rums and those right down the middle but I don't like this.

I'd have a hard time recommending this to anyone who wants to taste rum. There are a lot of people out there who like spiced rums and think that is what rum is all about but even to them I'd say just stick with Captain Morgan or CM Private Stock. It's infinitely better and much less expensive.

At $36 in Ohio it's WAY, actually obscenely overpriced. Don't waste your money.

Not a fan of white rums, this one is pretty good, a bit smoky in palate.

It’s kind of it’s own thing, but it is tasty and unique. I like having it on the shelf and every once in awhile I enjoy a glass (but it’s too sweet and fruity to have a 2nd).

It makes absolutely delicious cocktails. Whenever I make myself a rum & coke using this I have to make one for my wife too, otherwise she’ll smell it and drink all of mine!

This rum is a really good one to sip or mix with soda. The bottle makes it stand out as if it were a much higher priced rum so if you are looking to impress your friends, this is the rum to buy. I will say I have never been disappointed in the taste of this rum

Great taste, fully-unique flavor that's one of my favorites when I'm in the mood for something sweeter!

This was my saturday night , laying in the couch, watching tv, being stress free and drink. : ) Mixed with cola i think it becomes a enjoyable rum cola. It may be a tad expensive tough. But that bottle sure looks good. Happy i was nog dissapointed , i truly enjoyed it, bottle also looks really cool, BUT guys, for that money you CAN buy much better. Final verdict, it's good but it's in a price range were you can find many better rums. (Buy a appleton 12 years for a few bucks more and taste the difference)

Sucré, facile à boire, il a un goût très prononcé de banane, et un peu de poire en arrière goût. A la place du dessert pour finir sur une note sucrée.

I like the vanilla notes and the sweetness of this rum. I typically like it as a mixer.
