"Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. In my mind this rum will be too sweet for many, but a good rum none the less. The complexity is hidden under the sweetness and in my mind it should have been amped up with a little more proof. Price tag is really good compared to what you get. "
"Pleasant rum although the addition of sugar irritates me."
"6,9:On the nose, there is a quite balanced profile. The aromas that make up this profile are vanilla, wood, caramel, some nuts and a hint of orange/coconut with their sweetness. We cannot avoid bourbon fruits after some aeration, like peaches, cherry. . 6,9:On the palate, the attack is soft, honeyed, caramelized, but not sweet. The woodiness is present and even takes over the other aromas, without overpowering them. So, caramel is still present, as vanilla and a hint of bourbon fruitiness, there is still some peach, a hint of an alcohol, wood spice, roastedness, bitterness. 6,8:The finish is quite long and moderately sweet. It is dominated by the notes of bourbon ageing, so the wood, coconut, peaches, vanilla and some roasted nuts, perhaps leather."
"Easy sipper..... Goes down very well due to the low ABV. An ordinary rum from the supermarket around the corner. But one of the best in the range. Good for beginners. I wouldn't buy a second bottle of this."
