    I don't think this rum is bad at all. Nice vanilla and caramel flavor. Had prepared myself for the worst after the reviews, but it didn't happen :-) I am satisfied.

    A friend visited the Philippines and brought this back for me - it's what they drink there and it is cheap. So I tried it, the nose is vanilla, a bit alcohol and wood, nothing spectacular. On the tongue... Like a not as sweet and artificial made Don Papa... Could use a higher ABV, but It is already in this form better than the dreaded sweet concoction. Maybe people there like this kind of flavour? I am not so fond of the artificial vanilla note, but it is not dominant and as it is way less sweet (still sweet though) I believe I could work with this. Will have to try it in some cocktails, as Kevin for example suggests.

    Another good mixer. 5 cl of rum Fresh strawberries 10 cl lime juice Ice Blend until smooth.

    Più forte, speziato e alcolico del Select, meno morbido, ma non fa schifo, si può bere senza sputare
