    "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."
