The nose is very good for a starter rum. Oak, tobacco, fruit and then polish. Very well balanced.In the mouth then disappointment. Woody, one dimensional and thin. The alcohol stings.As I said, a good introduction to unsweetened rum.

Guter Mount Gay, bei dem man die Lagerung in Bourbonfässern deutlich schmeckt. In seiner Komplexität nicht so gut wie der große Bruder XO, aber trotzdem eindeutig einer der besseren Rums.

Solo strong alcohol perceptible. A rum that tastes more like whiskey than rum. I don't like whiskey, but it goes well with an old fashioned drink. Use translate 😅

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

Geruch süßlich würzig. Geschmack: Zu Beginn sehr mild, es folgt eine gute Würze die in einer guten Stärke mündet

Great neat sipping rum but its price tag should be around 20-23€ max for what it is offering.

Nase: Recht alkoholisch, wenig intensiv, leicht vanillig, aber sehr würzig. Gaumen: Schärfe zeigt sich auch hier, Lakritz und Pfeffer, dann Holz und zartes Karamell. Abgang: leicht rauchig oder verbrannt Holz sowie Tee. Von Barbados kennt man auch mildere Vertreter, mir zu alkoholisch und zu würzig ohne komplex zu sein.

Pretty good for the price. The nose feels like a good Bourbon, delicate and fruity aroma, and some vanilla. The tasting is a little bit alcoholic but not overpowering, with some vanilla and caramel. Add a touch of water and this is where it shines, bringing some banana flavor.
