How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its smooth, vanilla-caramel sweetness and low price. Critics find it too sweet, simple and a bit “baking rum”. Consensus: easy, undemanding value bottle for casual use.
If you enjoy light, sweet Dominican-style rums like Barceló or Brugal blends, this will feel familiar—just don’t expect depth, think easy mixer and dessert helper.
Drinkers avoiding sweetness, anyone seeking complex or high-ABV rums, and purists who dislike soft, dessert-leaning profiles.

It's quite ok for the small price tag
Good value and goes great in desserts.
Was recommended to me by my rum dealer as very good value for money. I am happy to confirm this impression.
Fruity and easy to drink
