    I thought I had reviewed this a while ago when I had recieved it as a gift. It’s always been a smooth sipper, but the longer it’s been open, the smoother it’s gotten. I’d argue it’s gotten lighter on fronts of smell, flavor, and finish but that’s what happens with open bottles. This rum has been my goto for stirred cocktails. I’ve absolutely loved how it stands up in an El Presidente.

    The old blend was the best rum and coke ever but the new blend is such a delight without mixing... Nose Oak, oranges and papaya Tasting Oak , papaya, soft fruits

    The nose is quite spicy with notes of allspice and vanilla. Some fruit in the background. Similar to apricot. The palate has way more fruit than the nose. It rather sweet, lots of brown sugar notes. Some wood. But the fruit is definitely taking centre stage. The finish is medium to long with more bitter notes of bourbon and chocolate coming out. It's a brilliant rum, especially for the price and a big step up from the Mount Gay Eclipse. The bitterness of the finish is all I can really downgrade it on.

    Výborný poměr cena/výkon. Jeden z mých nejoblíbenějších "must have". I díky ceně je mým nejfrekventovanějším z mé sbírky.
