Woody, sweet, bitter with a slight alcoholic tingle on the lips. I do not get much more out of it, not mine.

A typical Guyana rum. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and a bit woody. Makes an acceptable neat sipper.

Had only mixed with this and was pleasantly surprised at how it sipped. Sweet caramel and toffee and a hint of oak. I'm guessing this has some amount of dosage but if so it is definitely not over done. I wish the proof was higher but it's convinced me to try the 12 or 15 soon.
