This one is my favorite rum at the moment. It is a sweet woody spicy rum with fruits which has a mild to medium alcohol warmth to it when you swallow. It is very flavorful and sweet which is what I like and the alcohol warmth keeps the rum lively. Excellent!

Har kun smagt 12 års, som også altid skal være i en rom samling. Har hørt at 15 og 21 hører lige så meget til i en romsamling. Skal på ønske listen.

I got this on recommendation. I can see why it has won awards. Very smooth, nice sweet flavours and goes down well. The only thing keeping me from giving it a higher rating is the fruity, and slightly licorice notes that don't agree with my personal palate. When I compare it to the Plantation Grande Reserve from Barbados, it is a smoother version of that for my purposes at double the price. Glad I tried it, but unfortunately, my search for the perfect rum continues....
This was the first sipping rum I ever purchased... I have not had a glass of whisky since this hit my tongue. It is fantastic. As I try more rums I may come back Nd adjust the score accordingly.

Výborná chuť, trochu dřevitější, je potřeba nechat ve sklenici déle odležet, aby vynikla komplexní chuť. Ale jinak za mne výtečně.
My current favorite sipping rum.
And a total bargain for about $31 here in Canada.

There is nothing wrong in this rum... only that there are better ones out there... But it's a very good sipping rum. No need for ice.
This really is a great rum to nose (brown sugar and orange peel). As the rum breathes i got moka aroma. This rum enters the mouth with a sweet spice explosion. Dark brown sugar, and hints of orange peel is the flavours that i discover. The overall flavour is mild sweet and soft at the end there is some bitterness or smoke which offsets that sweetness nicely. At the end has a warm spicy finish and leaves the mouth and throat heated. No alcohol burn at all. For me it is a very good quality rum.

The darkened glass bottle makes this look richer than it is. It seems strong at first, so I let it breathe...that's the key to tasting it now. Decanter a must. Now the flavor makes me want to take my time. It is now one of my top affordable sippers with Appleton 12 yr.

For this price you can't get a better rum although the step up to the 15 is well worth the extra few quid. Rich molasses and smoothness of a typical el dorado. This has minimal burn, flavor isn't overly complex but holds its own against more expensive rums. This was the first bottle of "proper" sipping rum I tried so might be a touch of nostalgia in this review
