A very good rum for the price. As a sipper it's a bit hot for my palate. Sweet upfront with vanilla and sugar but it dries out in the finish and is not too sweet by any means. Not as complex as I'd have imagined. I think this would be fine as a mixer. At less then a $20 bill it's a good rum and could be served over ice with a twist of lime as well. A really good all purpose rum!

Revised May 2019 - I've been using this a lot lately as one of my rums to blend in tiki cocktails and other mixed drinks. I'm raising my rating on this to a 7 from my initial 6 as this rum is excellent when blending with other rums and for use in a wide variety of cocktails. Solid product with not too much dosage added. A fine mixing rum that has many uses!

I like this rum - light in colour, light in taste.
Great for mixing with some coconut juice but it is complex enough to sip neat as well.

Tastewise - candied pineapple, coconut and definitely a touch of cognac. Semi sweet, more than Malteco, less than Diplomatico.

Very nice value for 20 euro.
I am starting to enjoy these younger Bajan rums.

From a straight up sipping to cutting it with a bit of cola, this is a real quality rum. It's very diverse. Tasty flavoring of vanilla and spices but there isn't much bite. Real delicious finish too. Quality buy for the price! Should be good for all levels of rum drinkers.

This is the rum that led me in to the passion of rum tasting. I have had one in my cabinet since.
Wonderful round sweet taste with citrus and vanilla tones. Not as colorful as the xo 20th anniversary but a damn fine rum indeed.

After lots of recommendations I finally tried this rum.
It was good, even better a bit chilled.
Be carefull with ice though since it quickly dilutes this rum.

Ein guter Rum, in dieser Preisklasse hätte ich das so nicht erwartet. Kann man gut pur trinken, leichte schärfe, Kokos- und Fruchtaromen. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall disen Rum zu probieren, super Preis Leistungsverhältnis.

Unconventional taste. Kind of similar character as El Dorado 12, but not so rich.

For some reason I'm not the biggest fan of these Plantation Rums. Maybe the ones i have tasted have not been the right ones. Have to keep looking

This rum is suprisingly smooth for the price point. I can actually sip this on ice. A bit too much fruit flavours for my palate, though. Until I find a chocolate-coffee-toffee forward smooth rum at the same price point, this will probably be my go-to all-round rum.
