I really like this rum. I like it better than many of the โ€œpremiumโ€ rims out there. The price point is great, too. Best in a Dark and Stormy (which the drink is named for) or. Cuba Libre.

Color : Dark mahogany
Flavour : Treacle, ripped fruits, spices like caramel & cumin, toffee
Palate : Soft & gentle but rich, clean finish

It's THE rum to use to do a Dark n' Stormy (official Bermuda drink), a must to have in your cabinet...

This is my go to rum for mixing with cola.....but only a splash of coke.

Lest there be any doubt, this is for a Dark & Stormy. That's about it. Too prominent a flavor for anything else.

This is the rum that got me started on tasting different rums. It's sweet and has little burn. It works well by itself and a mixer.

Must have for a proper Dark & Stormy, an aquired taste as a mixer for other recipes, smokey molasses flaver can be overpowering.

If you don't already know about this rum, start researching. PERFECT rum for the Dark and Stormy drink of Bermuda. I always have a bottle of this to make dark and stormy's when the mood is right!
