This was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting some more burn with the very high proof and lack of an age statement but a great sipping rum for those who like high proof.

Nice aroma -must breath in glas longer time. Too strong to enjoy straight. Heating very long time and dry aftertaste.

Nose not bad for overproof. I put on ice and let it breathe. Not typical gasoline as expected and can be consumed as sipper but not recommended. Had Cuba libre and definitely way to go. It doesn’t have flavor like typical plantation. Overall ok. Prefer something with flavor. If looking for no real bite and extra alcohol mixer this is your drink

Use it in swizzles as a base rum with Fee falernum. "I'll drink to that" for some recipes. Beautiful to replace Smith & Cross, with an even higher proof. Blends are difficult to analyze, but his one seems to have the right ratios. Don't sip, mix it!

Raisin, and some.... more Raisin. If you like Raisin then this may be your rum. For everyone else, just skip this one. You could buy stroh rum just as well.
5/10 (I'm not into raisin as you might have guessed)

Un rhum de marin qui réchauffe !
Il faut, selon moi, le laisser un peu s'ouvrir dans votre verre avant de commencer à le déguster. C'est donc un rhum puissant en alcool et en arôme.
Débutants, passer votre chemin... vous êtes prévenus !

Taste like a better version of Pusser's Blue Label.

Cognac overtones wash through to vanilla, nougat aftertastes. Amazingly smooth, a definite sipper. Worth the cost to a T.

Dark, fruty and powerful rum.
Scent: coffee, orange, plums, jams and tryffles
Strong banana note, and the sweetness is tempered by a ridiculous amount of alcohol. Not bad at all

($44CAD) Well if you want a rum that hits back, this is the one. Initially purchased this to make rum balls (delicious), but I had to give it a go neat as well. I’ve been a fan of the plantation rums I’ve tried so far so I expected to like this one as well.
The aroma takes me back to the Stiggin Fancy bottle, in the best way. A bit of fumes coming off as well but not bad, considering the 69%ABV. Pineapple and coffee on the nose, very pleasant.
Plum and raisin rush to your palette with some fire not far behind. All kinds of goodness rest on your tongue as the fire fades away: wood, coffee, leather, tobacco but also dried fruits, pineapple, and toffee.
This rum ticks all the boxes: it’s readily available, decently priced, full character, has antiseptic properties and will keep you coming back for more.
Dark n stormy? Yessir! Mai tai? Yeap. Straight up? Hells yes. The value of this one is huge. A new staple.
Do yourself a favour and check this one out.
