"Quite tasty, actually. No ordinary Jamaican, something does not quite fit here. But okay :)"

"Works supprsingly well with the low ABV. Clearly noticeable (continental) Clarendon notes. Pleasant and enjoyable."

"Based on the previous reviews, I would have expected something worse in the glass. But it's not that bad either. Thanks DomM for the sample. I think this rum needs a little more time in the glass, then it will be fine."

"A young Clarendon with limited potential. The nose offers some tropical fruit, pear, a hint of esters, woody, spicy, vegetal and floral notes. A rather thin and soft profile, lacking character and depth. The palate follows the same pattern, adding a hint of young wood, nutmeg and sweetness. There's not much more to say, except that it's rather bland and the flavors seem a little unbalanced. The dilution also gives a slightly watery profile. The finish surprisingly persists tropical fruits, spices, young wood and esters. While it won't convince purists, it will be a good rum to introduce sensitive palates to the world of Jamaican rums."
