This is quite distingtive rum even in Black category. Deep flavour of molases with dark soily scents. It is quite serious and dry personality among rich black rums. Autumn liquore.

Nice mix of sweet chocolate and oak flavors. Good for cocktails and sipping

Like most people, I have this stocked because my wife loves it. Actually a really nice mixer. A bit frothy like Captain Morgan black.

An adequate dark rum for cocktails. Prefer cruzan blackstrap for the molasses flavor.

Makes the best Dark & Stormy. Not on my sipping list. Unique heavy flavor mixes well, and you can still get a nice rum taste.

Not the greatest, but a good rum for the price. Decent by itself and great for mixing. Definitely recommend.

I like this, it is flavoured so not like OVD, Lambs, etc. . I drink my Rum neat and and this one just squeezed in to that category. I prefer this one to Myers and Blackwell.
