Review by Leslie Haigh
Really good rum not much after burn very smooth easy going rum taste a little creamy ..money wise very good vaule
Review by Abrahan Reyes
I like this one as much as the 15 year version, is good for sipping and mixing. Wood flavor is perceived and some flavor notes that for some reason reminds me a brandy. Herbal after taste which i find very pleasant. Excellent price.
Review by GigiMartini
A quite pleasant and easy-drinking rum
Review by Nick Gerrard
Doesn't offer a lot of depth as a sipper but some complexity on the nose and little burn when drunk. Herbal and grassy flavour. It's fine, but I wouldn't be offering this to guests to impress them!
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it smells mildly sweet and slightly earthy but I can’t put my finger on the smell. Taste has a mild alcohol and burn with a delayed moderate spice. Finish is short with the spice and sweetness fading away. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Pepsi Zero only. Taste is smooth with a moderate sweetness. Finish is short. This is a nice delicious mixer and suggest it is better mixed. At this price it would be reasonable as a regular mixer.
