Too much sugar for me, but if your into the smooth and sweet your going to like it. Think the opposite of funky dry Jamaican. If your idea of rum is a mixed cocktail but would like to have a sipping neat rum this is probably a safe bet.
Once was enough for me, I'll never buy it again.

one of many bottles i had in December last year and propably one of the best (well Barcelo imperial was there obviously). smell and taste seemed to me as mixture of pampero aniversario (the jam flavour) and flor de cana 12 (the chocolate flavour). Obviously more balanced and more complexed than pampero and flor 12. loved it and will buy it soon again.

I love this rum neat. It is really smooth and doesn't have strong alcohol taste.

One of the first rum I've tasted. Liked it a lot then and I like it a lot still. Really nice sipping rum with a great taste. It is also really good in a cuba libre (sacrilege I know, but it was part of a tasting experiment). Haven't tried the siblings yet, but looking forward to it.

First I liked it, but then my dislike of anything sweet alcohol got over, bottle is still almost full.
But I did't want to give up, so I purchased 21 yo

I just like it...sweet, dark, almost viscous. I'm not a big rum "taster" but I like the smoothness and silky note that this rum has on my palate.

Guter Demara Rum - mild und eine gewisse Süße. Dessert Rum

I really like this rum, it is good, round, sweet and almost will be able to enjoy it, even the girls. A good 'starter' for the untrained.
