Well known classic, I have nothing new to add, strong raisins, oak on the nose, strong and sweet taste of raisins, black currant, pronounced oak and molasses, then strong fruity aftertaste. The rum is robust in smell and taste, yet smooth and easygoing. Although there is quite a lot of sugar added (40g/l), it does not taste as just slightly more matured 8y El Dorado (15g/l) with added more sugar, there is much more balance, complexity and overall yumminess. Everybody's sipper for a fair price. Reedit: One bottle I bought first half of 2021 contained significantly harsher and biting alcohol, asking for score 6, probably a bad batch as a bottle bought half a year later was as good as always,
