This rum is great in price 20/750ml, and is well distributed. I get a rounded vanilla and Christmas spice on the nose. It has a wonderful mouthfeel and is heavy on a butterscotch flavor with a clean rounded finish. If you can get it at your local Costco it's 100% worth a try.

Пивал это ром много раз, его вкус запоминается сразу и забыть его невозможно! Очень чувствуется бочка бурбона и аромат ванили. Очень легко пьётся в чистом виде и очень хорош в коктейлях. И цена вообще супер 👍

Nose is excellent with strong vanilla, smooth taste with final bitter slightly rancid finish. Solid to sip great for mixing.

A perfectly suitable white rum for cocktails. Cheap and available.

- relatively smooth and clean compared to older El Dorado rums, looks like filtering really does the trick here
- pretty full-flavored, it tastes like a Demerara rum; I'm getting notes of vanilla and white chocolate, and a certain sour/joghurt component that really elevates the rum for me. I've had several longer-aged, unfiltered and more expensive rums that had less taste!
- the alcohol taste is more in the foreground than in older El Dorado rums, but it's not a problem at all because it's still quite flavorful and I can't detect any off notes
- the aromas cut through quite well in cocktails
- very good value

This is easily one of my favourite rums!

Vanilla and sweet notes. Very pleasing, sweet taste. A bit harsh on the nose and palate while neat. Give it time to breathe, drop an ice cube or use this for cocktails. Affordable and versatile. Keep this bottle on your shelves.

Aroma: butternut lifesaver, yum! The taste is more like vanilla.
I think this would be good with cinnamon simple syrup and some peach juice, although that would likely not qualify as a tiki drink.

Not the best I’ve had, but far from the worst. Made a batch of Coquito using this and it seemed to do the trick.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 6/3/19. Grain aroma. Incredibly smooth and delicate. Has a lot of agricole-like notes. Good stuff for a demerara mixer.

Re-tasted on 6/30/21. Bread dough aroma. Acetyl. Butterscotch and vanilla. Mild pepper and spice mid-way. Muted sweetness finishes clean. Less impressed and move my score from a 6 to a 5.

($25CAD) - Got this one to make some vanilla extract but figured I'd give it a shot straight up.
Not too much going on aroma-wise; A bit of butterscotch maybe.

Taste has upfront sticky carmel with a hint of those coconut candies and some butterscotch. No depth though, as the flavour quickly fades into heat.

Not a great sipping rum but could be fun in mixed drinks.
