This stuff is like the best of EVERYTHING dark!! Aroma carries vanilla, chocolate, coffee, charred wood, licorice and root beer! The taste is not nearly as complex as the nose, but it's still pretty good: it enters with thick, vanilla custard, followed by a surprisingly pronounced cola kick. Then an odd, but somehow appropriate finish of overripe plums shows up with molasses.
Drinking on it's own is fine, but this stuff makes the best gosh darn rum'n'cokes ever!! At $40 a pop, it's expensive as a mixer, but if that old standby is your thing, this is absolutely worth the money!

Strong with the vanilla flavor, similar to Papas Pilar. A nice mixer.

On its own it was good. It was a bit sweet and less complex than your better aged rums but for the 45 buck I paid it was one I would by again for mixing drinks. Not a sipping Rum but mixed it was really solid. I was not expecting much from this Rum but it was a nice surprise.

I was very surprised at how good it was for not being an aged Rum. It is sweet but very good.

(12/2018) 40% ABV. Nose: strong vanilla extract with molasses and a bit of caramel. A tinge of cherry syrup. Palate: it seriously tastes like watered-down, sweetened vanilla extract. A very short finish that leaves a bitter spiciness in the throat. Not recommended, even for mixing. Might be good for baking though, or with recipes calling for vanilla liqueur. Or perhaps with cola. Shame.
(11/2016) "Too sweet for my tastes" - Definitely colored (and sweetened) with too much caramel (and who knows what else). You could mix it, just adjust the sugars accordingly. Expected better.

Smooth mixer, as good as any other. Nothing distinctive.
Smooth with strong vanilla hint, a bit sweet but tasty.
