How does this rum taste?
Dry, spicy sherry twist for learners
If you’re moving up from sweet 40% rums, this adds sherry dryness and peppery kick without going overboard, though it won’t satisfy hunters of big complexity or power.
Those wanting ultra-smooth, very sweet rums or deep, complex sippers; anyone sensitive to peppery alcohol bite in younger 46% spirits.

Marvellous. Heavy spirits of just 46 ABV, but immediately followed but a distinct spicy peppery and quite long taste. Later I'm getting the aged vanilla citrusy oloroso cask finish. Definitely punches above is weight. Very much worth the price.
The marcipan and apricot/peaces makes this rum stand out somewhat.
Very good flavor profile and lacks strength
a little cherry in the aroma taste drier, prickly, sharp (it's 5YO and 46%)
