    A loverly soft velvety sweet nose with the slightest hint of banana. Mellow brown to burnt sugar complete the nose. A wonderful smooth sweet and silky mouth feel with a long finish that remains full of flavour throughout. Punches well above its price. This is a nice mellow sipping rum.

    I was allowed to try it at a friend's house. So I expected it to be much worse. Tastes yet quite still after rum.

    De lo mejor que he probado, dulce ? Si pero sensacional. Ofrece un final seductor y duradero. Tomar solo, sin ligar. Origen: Venezuela Materia prima: Melaza Edad: 2 a 12 años Precio: $35 Densidad alcohólica: 40% pura vida

    Tasted as an aperitif to please and remind me of my first rum discoveries. It's too sweet and aromatic. It's not much of a rum, more like a Bailey's or similar liqueur. I understand why it's appealing, but unfortunately it doesn't capture what rum is all about.
