"Almost the nightcap of the evening, another CubaLibre mixed with DomM from this rum. At least I think so. It tasted much better than the Cubans from Rum Artesanal. It's nice, but nothing special either. It's not really convincing neat either."

"Without endulging in a large blind tasting: this one feels a bit more intense flavorwise than some other Vuban expressions of similar age. A bit more bourbon forwards with vanilla and burnt caramel. Some fruits and honey as well. Good value for money."

"All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube."
