How does this rum taste?
Cognac-kissed, value cask-strength sipper
If you like rich, cask-strength blends like Foursquare or Guyanese-heavy bottlings, this is a smart buy—strong alcohol at first, but it turns into a flavorful, cognac-fruited sipper.
Those sensitive to high ABV or sharp alcohol, and drinkers looking for an easy, soft 40% sipper straight from the bottle.

Guyana clearly dominates the nose. Beautiful dark notes of plum, pear and wood. Overall very round, soft and pleasing. In the mouth, the alcohol is appropriate for the 62.2%, but is surprising given the gentle nose. Picks me up!
I don't know if my sample is not quite right, but there are such clear off-notes of earth, moss and mold that I can hardly drink it. The alcohol is also very poorly integrated!
Price-performance top! Significantly more percentages and 15 months post-maturation in ex-Cognac barrels have done him good. Only the funk has unfortunately suffered somewhat under the post-maturation. Otherwise, the typical flavors by the Barbados and Spanish shares plus fruit by the cognac.
Alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but good value for money at release.
