    Definitely not my favorite rum but worth the price paid.

    Vanilla, caramel and cask taste. Demerara style, I like it! .

    Overall prevalence of vanilla with hints of tobacco/barrel with a medium-long finish initially of vanilla then giving way to light tobacco/barrel notes.Decent rum, but I would never buy it again except at bargain prices. The bottle aesthetically is very nice.
