“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.”

“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.”
