Really good sipper. It’s an excellent blended rum.

Sweet, smooth, complex, and every other word I can’t think of. Everything I want in a rum. It has a great depth of the different flavors that makes this enjoyable from first to last sip. Has the delicious molasses with some later notes of sugar. The oak is subtle but not overpowering.

Tasted at Laka Lono April 14 2024
Aroma: coconut beauty from a yard away, plus a lil chocolate
Appearance: rich amber
Flavor: coconut and chocolate - almond joy in liquid form
Tasting notes: wow. This is a liquid almond joy; different than kilani, which is thicker and with caramel flavors.

From the Forbidden Hole stash, at Rogue Rum Club April 14 2024
Appearance: Amber
Aroma: must, smoked oak, melting plastic
Flavor: this starts out sharp but mellows to a sweeter smokey oak flavor.
Tasting notes: Sweetness seems agave-like but perhaps that's because I'm just back from El Paso.

Fantastic coconut rum, nice sweetness, 80 proof, very well balanced.

Harsh, metallic, very little sweetness to balance things. Not a sipper as it is very hot with ethanol

In the bottle purchased at Total Wine and tasted on 4-14-24. Clear in color. Aroma of vegetables and neoprene. There are rums with way more alcohol that burn less. Metallic and acorn squash flavors. Very weird rum. Probably would daiquiri well.

Vůně: Citrusově-smetanová, jemná, lak, letité, zvlhlé borové dřevo, nasládlá, lehounce strojní olej, koření, vanilka
Chuť: Nasládlá, citrusově nakyslá, zas lehce ten strojní olej, staré dřevo, lékárenské byliny, štiplavá, ABV téměř nevnímám
Dochuť: Dřevitě nasládlá, citrusová, slabě špinavá, jemná, jemná!
Relativně jednodušší Caroni, ale v jednoduchosti je krása!

9,8/10

Depends what you expect. If you understand this rum plays in lowest chesp league you wont have big dissapointment. What sum ups all is: cheap mixer rum. Dont even think "premium" when looking at the bottle. With cola tastes weird but okay. Probably with orange juice will be more interesting.

This one was new on the menu of my favorite bar, so I had to try it. First impression was a little too harsh alcohol smell and taste, but the more I sipped the sweeter and more pleasant it got. After 4cl I felt like an encore. Solid choice

7:On the nose, sauternes is felt immediately, the power of the beverage is expressed in the form of floral notes. Soon there are aromas of ripe yellow fruits and sweet melon which give consistency and attenuate this ethereal aspect. The alcohol is still present but it is loaded with banana, like in an early wine, with hints of solvent. We continue in the world of wine, with very ripe and fermented white grapes. The caramel brings us back to the rum and consolidates the whole.
Allowed to breathe, a few lemony splashes tickle the nostrils. The fruits are fresher, less stewed, with apple and pear spiced with ginger. Everything is quite delicate and balanced, with no aroma really prevailing over another.
7,5:The attack on the palate is very soft and even silky. The intensity of the alcohol that we had perceived on the nose has completely evaporated. The rum floats in a caramel and coffee syrup, with lightly roasted nuts. The sensation is decidedly soft, almost creamy, but it is a light, fluid cream.
7,3:The finish is logically very sweet, long too, with well-known markers of caramel and vanilla.

6,2:The first nose releases some fairly dry alcoholic aromas. The wood is strongly toasted, releasing notes of well-roasted nuts, chocolate note. A pass of solvent loosens the vanilla from the wood, then reveals a fruity, sweet and tangy character. Caramel and vanilla are accompanied by a very ethereal white floral side. The rum needs time to open.
Time will wash away the alcohol notes and the rum will remain on dry notes of strongly toasted wood and roasted, ground nuts. The dry, vegetal notes evoke walnut blossom, while the woody notes lighten up a little.
6,5:On the palate, the contrast is quite astonishing, as the rum is now very sweet. Toasted wood and roasted nuts are balanced by this sweetness. Walnuts and hazelnuts are tinged with a burnt, almost tarry touch. The rum is then fluid and light, with hints of tobacco, coconut, red fruit.
6:On the finish, the rum dries out and hooks the taste buds, bringing walnut brou de noix to mind once again.
