    Classically good rum. Here you do nothing wrong.

    Not very different from the XV tasted previously. A woody ron with controlled (if overly present) sugar. No depth, no complexity, no length. Not unpleasant, but not for me.

    On the nose restrained but mainly wood in the foreground. In addition, caramel and marzipan notes.In the taste after initial wood notes quickly peppery. Powerful, but also one-dimensional. Inexpensive, sweetened alternative to Mount Gay, although this is clearly better.

    Simple but good rum without frills
