    "Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club. Emperor Rum Heritage is a blend of aged rums from the distillation of pure and fresh sugarcane juice and molasses. Overall a rum that I mostly characterize as a Spanish styled rum thats too sweet for me."

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