    "Thanks to RumRatings for this sample! This one is by far the best of the 4 samples from Ron Colon! A funky mix of different notes. Nose: Blind i classified it as a jamaican. Esters?!? 🤔🥲 There are smells and tastes of different fruits, agricole and a lot of spice. A short woody, coffee finish. Nose: 8.4 Palate: 7.5 Finish:7,9"

    "It’s not infused with coffee beans and therefore much better than the Green & Red Label in my opinion. I recognize chocolate, caramel, tropical fruits and some sweetness. The nose is quite weak, but on the palate and during the medium long finish goes easier to recognize the tastes."

    "Considering the high proof this is actually an very well balanced rum. Very smooth and you don't need to add water to bring down the proof. The blend is 70% 6-yaar old from Licorera Cihuatan Destillery, 15% 3-year old Jamaican and 15% unaged rum. It won gold at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. A fruity explosion at a very good price tag. "
