"This was one of the first aged rum I tasted and definitely the first Cuban styled. So now many years after I’m quite sure that that affected my rating. Have to get it a second chance if I run into it."

"Thus rum originates from Cuba but destilled and matured in the Domenican Republic today, following the old Cuban methods to the point. Beginners may want to add an icecube when enjoying this rum. It is a rum in the cheap end so don't expect too much 😊"

"An absolute evergreen for me. Available almost everywhere and always at a very good price. I don't share the sometimes poor ratings here (<6). With only 5 grams of sugar (ALKO) added, in this price range, much more honest and likeable than other sugar water. I stick to it: Perfect for beginners or easy sippers."
