Overripe fruits, marzipan, dark wood and dark cacao. Needs some water, too strong to drink.

Everything has already been said in the other reviews--great stuff, tons of flavor, tons of funk. One thing is, if a recipe calls for, say, 3 oz of Jamaican rum, it's not a good idea to use 3 oz of this. It will simply overpower the drink, to the point where all you can taste is rum. However, if you add a small amount this to a less strong Jamaican rum, it can work very well. For example, if the recipe calls for 3 oz of Jamaican rum, what you can do is use 2.5 ounces of the less strong Jamaican rum, and 0.5 ounces of this.

Wow, this reminds me of Appleton Estate 12 on steroids. Huge aromas of typical Jamaican burnt sugar brûlée and bananas with date syrup on the pallet. May not be a great sipper, but would add a big punch to your favorite rum cocktail.

Meget sprit i duften med undertoner af frugt. Jeg fik tårer i øjnene, når jeg stak snuden i glasset. Har mere en smag af whisky, som jeg også kan lide, men efter en tør start kommer der en bølge af brændt banan, og der står jeg af. Jeg kan simpelthen ikke arbejde med den overmodne banan, som er karakterisk for rum-bar White overproof, som står for mig som den værste rom, jeg har smagt. Jeg kan forstå, at der er nogle som er ville med denne Smith amønd cross, for den har en fornuftig pris, og man får meget for pengene. Der er bare for meget banan til mig.

My in laws picked up a bottle for Xmas as they knew my brother and I enjoy sipping rum. I was excited to try this, but one sip and it was so bad it was practically undrinkable. So awful that we couldn't even mix it with anything without dumping it out. The high and should have been a warning g sign, or it could just be we had a bad bottle? But I will be avoiding this at all costs in the future.

As I said, remind me to šljivovica, spirit from plumbs produced and consumed in most of ex-Yugoslavia countries.
This drink is consumed fresh, without any aging, which makes it sometime too strong, like this rum is.
This rum has something else though. Some kind of plastic aftertaste in the back of the mouth. This is present in the smell too. For my taste, this shouldn’t be in any food or drink.
Something similar, but even stronger I have experienced with Laphroaig Quarter Cask whisky.
Not favorite of mine.

Not as harsh as you would expect. Good flavor with vanilla and caramel flavors.

This rum is akin to adding fennel to Italian dishes, don't eat the spice, just add it! In most tiki drinks, this adds distinguishable character to the cocktail. 1/4 oz will do. Serve a drink without and with, and ask your fellow rum imbibers which way they prefer. This rum is a go-to for me, to be used in small quantities. I am rating this very special mixing rum as if it were a right arm essential ingredient to most all tiki drinks. Its higher proof also corrects low ABV if you are mixing with 80 proof rums, without jumping to the potent 151 rum float. This rum also has a England-Jamaica history most of us can relate to when drinking it in mixed form.

Most for good cocktails. A little hard to drink clean .. but not impossible. Compared to price it is good.

My favourite mixing rum when bold is required. It’s bold.

There is no substitute for the funk you get in this rum, but it's a little too much for me.
