    How does this rum taste?

    The Heritage Rum from Mauritius, crafted at the Emperor Distillery, offers a distinct profile due to its blend of molasses and sugarcane juice. With a 40% ABV, users often highlight its fruity aroma, complemented by hints of caramel and vanilla. The palate reveals caramelized and sweet vanilla notes with woody undertones. While some find it smooth, others note it as overly sweet without significant character. It's marked by aromas of fruits and vanilla and flavors that range from sweet to woody. Ideal for mixing, this rum suits those who enjoy milder, sweet style rums, though it may lack complexity for seasoned palates. Often appreciated for easy sipping, its accessibility is both a strength and a point of contention among users.

    Quite ok, relatively round, but subjectively not sweet enough

    On The Rocks: On the nose a moderate Agricole and green grass aroma with some hints of sweetness and spice. Taste reveals a very smooth flavour of mild Agricole, fruit and spice with a little woody notes. Finish is medium with the sweetness and spice tapering off. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a slight sweetness and Pepsi zero. No real distinct aroma. Taste has a strong and immediate punch of sweetness (still very smooth) with it tapering off quickly. This is quite delicious mixed and would drink multiple.

    Pleasant without more. The nose is very floral, a little herbaceous, aniseed, slightly woody. In mouth we find this aniseed and floral side.

    Sweet. Drinks easily.
