How does this rum taste?
Dry, technical tropical Jamaican hit
If you enjoy drier, technical Jamaican profiles like higher-ester Appletons or Worthy Park selections, this bottle adds cask strength punch and layered tropical fruit for a more serious sipping experience.
Those sensitive to high ABV or who prefer soft, sweet, low-ester rums with minimal alcohol bite and no industrial/solvent notes.

I have to be honest. With this rum, I only decided whether I liked it or not. And this rum is great (I'm happy for the whole bottle). Love the combination of technical and chocolate flavors. If you have chance to try it... just do so.
