A sweetened blend with a round appearance, definitely with Jamaica content. Lots of fruit with honey and some smoky wood. In the mouth dominantly sweet and round, at the same time woody spicy with spicy tobacco. Almost complex! Well, but the finish is the weakest, as it somehow tastes artificially like caramelized strawberry or banana. Nevertheless, for the price actually quite a good entry-level rum.

Pure not bad but a bit too boring and watery. Smell somewhat alcoholic but "better"/more exciting than the taste. Very short finish.Was often recommended to mix with cola, but for me much too sweet and "dark", the fresh is missing.As part of a Mai Tai but very tasty!

The nose is full of honey and raisin with estery funk in the background. A little orange lingers in the background with a touch of tobacco. It's definitely on the sweet side. The palate is a lot less funky than the nose, less fruit forward too. There's some oaky notes and the tobacco and honey from the nose are present. I picked up a subtle pineapple hint in the background. The finish is a little hot compared to the palate. The honey still lingers but now it has been smoked. Though, it only stays for a short while. Overall this rum is a steal for the price. I know it's not fancy but it's something I can sip for days. Doesn't work for me in mixed drinks though, odd.

Quite decent neat but not particularly impressive. Powerful blender. I have found it to be a really good addition to hot cocoa.

Barbados and Jamaican styles are among my favorites so of course I find this rum to be lovely. Not very complex but the flavors are wonderful. Buttery sweet caramel spice. Goes down way too easy neat! have not really experimented with this too much in cocktails but probably would be nice in a grog or anything that would benefit from a full bodied, sweet and buttery rum. The price point on this is well below my enjoyment level so I look for the 1.75L bottles haha.

It knows how to beguile immediately with its sweet, fruity nature on the nose. Quickly captivated, fruit and wood notes are found in the beginning, which quickly give way to the predominant honey flavor. In the finish even slightly smoky is reminiscent of a weak Jamaican. Price / performance hit for beginners and cocktail fans.very pleasing Sipper.

Very good on it's own, very good in a classic bombo cocktail. Considering the price, it's excellent

For the price, an exciting and complex nose, if a bit weak on the chest. Surprisingly much ester / varnish, tobacco and wood.In the mouth then honey-like sweetness, very mild and spicier notes. Hardly any alcohol, but also here unusual approaches of strong notes.Very good entry rum, especially for all classic cocktails. Nice mix standard.

I like the nose, some caramel notes. Flavor wise is OK, again caramel can be perceived, banana and some orange hints. Where it really shines is for mixing. Cuba Libre, Old Fashioned, you named. Excellent price.
