    A pleasant discovery. A pastry profile that makes it easy to drink. Not insanely complex, but pleasant. It also appealed to the uninitiated. Edit: I'm raising my rating because the value for money is still super interesting. The bourbon brings a nice sweetness. It's easy enough to drink without being devoid of interest.

    Overall, I find this rum from Thailand quite sweet. It's quite good to drink neat, better than I would have thought. More in the easy sipping category. As a mixer in the CubaLibre, it's also on the sweet vanilla sugar side. Nice to have tried, but I wouldn't need any more of it now.

    On the nose, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful tropical ripeness and cocoa notes. The palate is then somewhat one-dimensional, even if it has something interesting at its core.

    Very pleasing nose, very sweet, tending towards cookie dough with woody hints of coffee. Smells like a nice sipper. Unfortunately quite one-dimensional in the mouth, has something of a sweetish bourbon.
