It is difficult to rate this dark rum because it is not supposed to be drunk neat. Whether you like it or not it is a must have for a decent bar. The company sources its rum from Caribbean countries, and then blends and ages it in Bermuda. My "Dark and Stormy" was just right.

Quite usual rum, nothing special. Very dark, so it can be artificially colored. Simple test.

One of my everyday go to dark rums for mixing. Necessary for authentic Dark N Stormys or Burmuda Swizzles. I also like it in a Mai Tai.

Does well mixed in drinks, but I thought it was kind of boring until I put it in ginger beer. Very good.

Works great with Ginger beer for a Dark & Stormy, but not a sipping rum. Molasses comes to mind.
Changed my mind. Sweeter than I remember now.

It's dark rum, not much else to say. If you want a dark & stormy, this is the supposed only choice. Not my favorite straight but I can't knock it either

This rum is only good for mixing and only for a few specific drinks. Not for sipping or for everyone. Middle of the lower road

Straight to the point: great mixer, dark and stormy was very nice too. Straight I found this to be harsh, with some powerful almost metallic tones, it was better chilled.
I'll keep this for guests.
