Robe assez foncée. Arômes de caramel, crème brûlée, épice, butterscotch et torréfaction. Assez léger. Meilleur rapport qualité-prix dans le rhum. Toujours une bouteille a la maison. Excellent en drink et bon seul.

Buon rum ad un prezzo onesto. Per i miei gusti però troppo dolciastro.

Very disappointed in this rum. Tasting after
enjoying Real McCoy 5 year old which I give a solid 8.
This rum taste and looks artificial. Too much caramel coloring along with taste. As a mixer alright, drinking straight no way!
Much rather spend my money on Godlings Black Seal which has more character than this.

Bought this as the same time as Diplomatico and though both are definitely good rums this was slightly behind the Venezuelan rum.

Good for taking the edge off after a long day. Great straight or for a fancy mixer.

A solid thicker more involving rum. Sweeter and a bit lighter (but more vibrant) on the nose than the 15, but with less oak, more fruit and a bit of an aftertaste. N: thicker molasses, sweet. T/F: sweeter, mid-spicy, ends sweet if a tad bit flat

This was great so easy to drink . I nearly could just drink straight from the bottle

Surprised to find this better than the 15. Suspiciously smooth, but I didn’t look into that - like what you like. Fruit and honey. Minimal punch. Light heat. More complex than just barrel notes.

No crazy flavors here, no spice or fruit. Only a full molasses flavor with a hint of sweetness. I've had many whiskeys sweeter than this. This is exactly what I would recommend to someone wanting to try rum for the first time. Simple, yet refined. A good base to compare others to.
