This is an ok rum I bought it once but never considered buying it again. A poor man’s Barbados XX. Nothing spectacular going on here but deserves a solid 6.

It's hard to rate this because every year there's a new bottle and a new style. It's definitely been getting sweeter and sweeter. When I first tried this it was phenomenal and such a good price point. Now it's drifting, like so many other rums into the diplomatico, el dorado, ron zacapa, over sweet "aged" rum whirlpool.

Nice smell and taste of vanilla but a little bit hot for me. I was sipping it and it seemed to have just a little too much burn for me. I would be alot more forgiving beacause of the price but today I just had the vizcaya 12 year and for 20 bucks its insanely good and smooth

This rum is very impressive for the price. Easy to drink but not too sweet. Equally good for either aperitif or as after-diner drink. A must have for the liquor cabinet.

Very tasty, fresh and not too heavy. My favorite mid aged rum.
And it works also with coke very well. Just Fantastic and better than most heavy/burbon tasting rums.

Most bang for the buck. It is sweet but not to sweet. Good taste. Works well as a sipping as well as mixing rum.

Very good. Smooth, sweet (but not too sweet), and pleasant. Good sipper and mixer. Can take a little water or ice but doesnt need it. Ripe fruit, caramel, and butterscotch.

Lækker rom som er lidt anderledes sød. Jeg kan godt lide denne flaske.

Great for the money, good taste, definitely not sweet but also not dry like bourbon and no taste of dry alcohol. Spicy, kind of dark flavor going close to cognac as well

It is a smooth rum, wel balanced and a bit dry, but i don't like how the alcohol comes out in the aftertaste.
