How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy it as a cheap, easy mixer with vanilla, caramel and light wood. Critics find it thin, hot and a bit characterless neat. Consensus: solid value, mainly for cocktails.
If you like simple, honest mixers and want to step up from basic supermarket rum, this gives you real Barbados character cheaply, as long as you’re not expecting sipping-level complexity.
Sippers chasing depth or beginners sensitive to alcohol burn who want a very smooth, rich, slow-drinking rum.
