    7.1/10 50 reviews

    Woody/barrel, chocolate and a tiny bit of vanilla. The alcohol comes across as pungent. I would never purchase a bottle.

    01.05.2019 Nice tasting with friends including my slow cooked pot roast. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, light wood, faint roasted, dried fruit, caramel, light floral, spice. Palate Light, sweet, light wood, dried fruit, light floral, faint pineapple, spice, light chocolate, light caramel. Finish Short to medium, light wood, sweet, light dried fruit, faint citrus, light chocolate, faint caramel. Extra note. Surprisingly good at the age and price tag.

    A solid rum, good for cocktails ok for sipping. The nose gives off caramel, vanilla, and oak notes with a little banana. The rum is light on the tongue with caramel and vanilla as the primary taste. The finish is slightly better than the palate with vanilla, dried fruit, and barrel spices.

    super round number! nice entry Barbados rum!
