How does this rum taste?

A curious and divisive S.B.S Guyana SVL: Berry and caramel allure with a contentious sweet edge; some find it artificial. The unrefined alcohol bite and contrasting aromas lead to a polarizing experience. A unique, but not classic, Guyana rum.

“Crass number. Blind I would have probably never thought that should be a Guyana rum! Rather a grand arome savanna or le galion with PX finish due to the almost artificial fruitiness after strawberry, cream candy, hubba bubba and laughing gum. In addition, there is a surprisingly intense sweet and light acetic acid, as well as light herbal notes and in the finish minimally bitter, sour and astringent and at the same time syrupy sweet.... Very very unusual...The acetic acid takes some getting used to and definitely not for every day.... And also the sweetness does not seem natural to me...Where these for Guyana untypical notes come from is really a mystery to me and I have never experienced so.For this I would like to get more information, because from Guyana is here almost no trace, at most in the finish then a bit...🤷🏼‍♂️”

“A fruity - sweet rum with a slight acidity reminiscent of vinegar. There are still herbs and various spices and a bitterness. The alcohol I felt only moderately well integrated. Nevertheless, an interesting rum.”

“A Savalle Still but quite different from SWR, ICBU or AN. Artificial, sweet fruit flavors dominate here - I love it! In the nose HubbaBubba strawberry, fermented fruit and caramel candy. Only in the background the dark spiciness one would otherwise expect. In the mouth continues to be very fruity with an estery acidity, followed by allspice and other spices and after just before the finish a slight herbal note. The finish is unfortunately a bit short - here the wood makes itself felt with a slight bitterness.”
