    How is this rum rated?

    7.0/10 158 reviews

    The molasses comes from Dom. Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels between five and eight years before blended and bottled. In my opinion is this an outstanding everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account.

    I am not crazy about the product.

    All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

    ‘S got that nasty Barbados-like woody finish that turns me off.. otherwise great rum
