How does this rum taste?

Users note strong aromas of banana and sugarcane, with prominent flavors of brown sugar and mango. While praised for its use in cocktails, it's an intense drink best enjoyed with a little patience or as a mix. Its fiery alcoholic warmth and a touch of spice make it a dynamic option for adventurous rum enthusiasts.

Now this one is a hammer to your palate. Though the proof is super high, Plantation has managed to create a very well balanced rum. You may need a few drops of water, but I just left it to rest for 30 minutes and it was great. Fruity and spices all the way through and a very warm and strong finish. I was very surprised at how well the alcohol was integrated in this rum! Definitely worth the price.
Perfect for cocktails! But pure is not to my taste.
Ok for a standard drink. Pure rather less.
Tasted 29-01-2016 When I first tasted this I gave it a really bad tasting notes due to not understanding the place an overproofs has in a bar line up . Not revisited as been long replaced but due to other issues with Maison ferrand (Barbados GI)it can go to the bottom of my list .
