    Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. This one was better than the 18 year old version. Vanilla and butterscotch (to some extent) dominate this rum. A very gentle and uncomplex rum, but at the price tag pretty good.

    On The Rocks: On the nose reveals moderate vanilla and caramel with oak and alcohol undertones. Taste has a moderate Vanilla and Caramel flavour with mild hints of spice and oak that is very smooth and well rounded. Finish is short with sweet vanilla and mild spice fading away quickly. This is a very delicious rum. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose has a sweet but mild Vanilla and Caramel. Taste is very smooth with mild vanilla and caramel. Overall this is an extremely consistent flavour profile that delivers the same both on the rocks and mixed. Could drink multiple of these mixed.

    A distinct aroma of vanilla and caramel candies. Sweet taste also with a hint of vanilla but still young and a little raw rum where the taste of brandy comes in

    Not bad. Could be a little smoother but that's what the 23 year old is about.
