    "Herbal tea meets Guyana. Well, nose still exciting / complex (herbal, nutty, roasty, fruity) and makes you want more, but in the mouth then woody, dry, spicy, tart. Would have liked more roasted flavors, caramel and fruit. In the finish a lot of licorice, spices and dried fruit, which what does not quite meet my taste."

    "Guyana can be a little tricky in my taste. There are the ones that I love and the ones that I’m not the biggest fan of. Those are the herbal and vegetal ones. This one tastes a lot like a very herbal PM, in addition to some wood and spices a a touch of fruit. Interesting but not for me."

    "Had a wonderful evening with some new faces for a super S.B.S tasting. Nice and lightly fruity rum with a nice spicy/warm kick to it. Lightly woody with a perfect ble d of spices."

    "Not bad, but clearly the weakest bottling from the four S.B.S Guyana releases. Good high-quality rum, but too interchangeable."
