"Not recommended for neat drinking, but perfect in my favorite drink, Dark ‘n’ Stormy."

"Always a pleasure, and not just as a blender. The price-performance ratio here is simply mega. I like the chocolaty, spicy taste and the full mouthfeel, which is usually only slightly pronounced in other rums with 40 revolutions."

"02.10.2016 - 03.10.2016 A great extended weekend with rum friends. This was a nice event and lots of space between the tables. Only problem was the level of English at some of the exhibitors. Here are the rums we tasted at the event itself, nothing truly unique but we had fun. This is the second half of the tastings. Notes Dark to very dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, banana, light grass, spice, light chocolate. Palate Light, wood, roasted, light nutts, clove, light caramel, chocolate, cherry, light earthy notes. Finish Short to medium, wood, light roasted, light tobacco, cherry."

"The nose has all the darker notes that would be expected of a very dark rum. Lots of molasses, barrel and raisin. There's a lingering rubber smell in the background too. The taste follows with what would be expected from the nose. It's on the sweeter side but nothing too much. Big nots of licorice and clove keep things spicy. The finish is on the short end but whilst it lasts there is a pleasant sweet, oakyness that is rather mellow. Overall it's a good entry level rum. Nothing challenging but at the same time it could get lost in the crowd."
