"Drank on the spot and found to be bad. Inexplicable and unpleasant sharpness. Didn't get any better in the local TúKola."

"My evergreen, great for a nice long drink or in cocktails, but can also be drunk neat if you don't have a nice bar nearby or are out and about. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with it ;)"

"One of the better Havana Club rums. It's not a must-have, but it's still good. Tastes slightly nutty to me, but still just manageable. An ok rum if you compare it with the other Havanas."
