Sugar: 30 GPL.
While the colour and taste of the rum does reflect the impact of the Red Wine barrels it was aged in, the special aging didn't do the trick. I found that there was a strong alcohol in both the taste and aroma. It's got a nice burnt brown sugar taste with a trace of bourbon burn. Overall I found it to be a tad harsh on the nose and in taste, and horribly over priced at $130 CDN. I would stick with the better known 12, 15, or 21 year old rums from El Dorado. Mix only.
