Bought me some bottles cause I couldn’t find Goslings to a competitive price cause I needed some dark rum to make Dark ‘N’ Stormys during the quite short Swedish summer. Tasted it first neat against Goslings Black Seal. Myers’s was then a clear winner because of nose and finish. When making the Dark ‘N’ Stormy contest I think it’s up to one and each of us to decide. When using Myers’s you get much more rum feeling mostly because of the finish. I prefer Myers’s but Goslings is also great so I think it’s all about personal opinion and taste.

It's what you pay for 🤷♂️ I kept coming across it in recipes for tiki drinks, so for that I bought it.

"Drinkable" is a great word for this rum. It's got an okay nose; gingerbread and dark fruits, and the palate isn't bad with dark chocolate and pleasant musky notes, but it soon leads into a finish that is far too smoky for my taste and really ruins the experience.

absolute entry level in jamaica range, a little thin but for a 18€ rum and to make uncomplicated drinks absolutely fine.

Viel Melasse, bis hin zu Assotiationen von Rübensirup. Überreifer Fruchtkorb dabei, wilde Mischung von Röstaromen dabei. Pur dann scharf für die 40%, überraschend trocken, schwer und röstig. Stellenweise etwas butterig, aber eben vor allem Melasse. In der Form absolut nichts für mich, aber: mit Säure blüht er auf, mit Orgeat verbindet er sich wie dafür gemacht. Großartiger Standard für alles um den Mai Tai!

I can see why it compliments the rum blend. Very slight funk, some additional flavors but it does come with a slight burn. Great mixer in small quantities?

Good mixing rum for great price. Not a fan of cheap plastic bottle but probably helps with affordable price
